Today, I wanted to talk about something that’s been on my heart lately: gratitude. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, my family and I started a new tradition this year-a gratitude wall in our living room. Every day, we write down things we’re thankful for, and it’s sparked some really meaningful conversations with our kids about seeing God’s blessings in our lives.

Gratitude has the power to change us. So, this week, I wanted to chat about what a biblical approach to Thanksgiving truly looks like.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones, and I’ll see you back here in December!

2:14– The Theology Of Gratitude

  • Gratitude is a response to who God is
  • God is the giver of every blessing in our lives
  • Gratitude is an act of worship

7:00 – Practical Expressions Of Gratitude

  • Having a heart that acknowledges God
  • Gratitude through worship
  • Gratitude through action

10:38 – Gratitude During Difficult Seasons

  • Psalm 34:1
  • Trusting God’s presence and promises
  • How are you practicing gratitude this season?

FEATURED QUOTES

“Even when life- especially right now, heading into the holiday season- feels chaotic, God’s goodness and His love is constant, and so it gives us this reason to be thankful.”

“Gratitude is…an act of worship. It’s a way that we acknowledge God’s rightful place in our lives as Lord and King.”

“Gratitude isn’t just what we say. Gratitude is how we live… It’s our it’s our words and our actions- word and deed- coming together.”

Our girl graduated fifth grade today and sang the National Anthem 🥹 And yes, I was a blubbery mess. I’m so grateful God saw fit for me to be her mama. We are so proud of the amazing young woman she’s becoming. #lillstillhomemovies

🎊 ONE WHOLE YEAR 🎉

My debut memoir, “If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry” has been out in the world for one whole year today. Writing this book was hard and holy work, and it’s been such a joy to see how many of you have laughed, cried, and laughed till you cried.

Thank you for the support of this book. ❤️

If you’ve read it, would you do me a *huge* favor and leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads? And would you share the book with a friend or on social media? It would mean the world to me.

And if you haven’t picked up a copy or downloaded the audiobook yet, what are you waiting for? 😉
