No disaster, no storm, no cancellation, no termination, no catastrophe will stop us from giving thanks.
Because we know: No matter where we are, every thanksgiving always brings us home — because giving thanks always brings you home to the heart of God.
There is a Courage that carries us, there is a Strength that steadies us, and there is One Hand that has hold of our hand, Who is our personal hand, Who has handpicked our hand to give us a hand up — right into the always safety of Him. #1000Gifts

How to Experience the Presence of God
Philippians 4:8-9
… and we know it, days like these can be filled with anxiety. And anxiety can cause you to forget God. Forget God, and you lose your mind and your peace. Forget God, and all you remember is anxiety. Forget the face of God, and you forget your own name is Beloved.
Beloved, you are the remembering people. Find your feet. Find His face—His broken-wide-open heart of communion.
Always remember: there can be unwavering peace today
when an uncertain tomorrow
is trusted to an unchanging God.
If we have Him today — nothing can steal our peace today.
“When you call on Me, when you come & pray to Me, I’ll listen… I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady” Jeremiah 29:12, Isaiah 41:10 MSG
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
