We have enjoyed listening and learning from others the past two Sundays.\u00a0 Last week we heard that if we are truly\u00a0giving thanks for what we have, we won’t be focusing on getting more; that being thankful in all circumstances would block any sin you might be tempted by.\u00a0 Today\u00a0we were challenged to think about this: what if we woke up today with ONLY the people\/things that we gave thanks for yesterday?<\/p>\n

Let us give thanks, for the big and the little, for the joys and the challenges, for the gifts we have been given in family & life!\u00a0 Let us give thanks to our creator God!!!<\/p>\n
