A Thanksgiving Reflection: Gratitude That Anchors Our Hearts

Thanksgiving isn’t just about the turkey—it’s about giving thanks and cherishing the little moments that make life meaningful. As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, we’re reminded to pause, reflect, and appreciate the blessings that surround us.

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT)

Whether it’s family gathered around the table, friends sharing laughter, or simply the comfort of a warm meal, this season invites us to focus on what truly matters. Gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a posture of the heart that binds us to the work of God in our lives.

As we gather around our tables, let’s take stock of Christ’s presence in our midst. Thanksgiving and gratitude are not just traditions; they are spiritual practices that draw us closer to Him.

As 2025 comes to a close, may His peace rule in our hearts. Let us be thankful for who God is, for what He has already done, and for what He will continue to do in and through us.
