In the Bible, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verses 16-17, tell us that followers of Jesus should “Rejoice always, pray continually, GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” In the month of November, we are challenging ourselves to put this attitude of thankfulness into action. Could we together, reflect on God’s word and what he is asking us to be thankful for? This month for a few moments each day, let's READ and REFLECT on what we’re thankful for and make room for Jesus to grow us, together.
