Manage episode 392559889 series 3544526
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Let's slow down together and refocus our hearts on gratitude and thanksgiving, inspired by the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers in Luke 17:11-19. We'll share our own heartfelt tales of thankfulness for our life's blessings and remind each other of the crucial importance of daily gratitude to God, regardless of earthly possessions and status. Along the way, we'll discuss the deep peace that comes from the presence of Jesus in our lives.
As we continue our journey of gratitude, we'll explore the immeasurable value God places on us and the abundant blessings he showers upon us, sometimes unseen or unappreciated. We'll recount touching encounters with individuals who may not have a roof over their heads but have an inspiring faith and gratitude towards God. Amidst the turkey and the pumpkin pie, we urge you to remember to thank Jesus this Thanksgiving – He is the source of all good in our lives. We'll also discuss the grateful Samaritan’s story, ending with a gentle reminder to cherish and appreciate our families. So, join us this Thanksgiving season in remembering that the end of this life is simply the beginning of an eternal one for us Christians.
