We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. God is so good and kind and generous; I pray this day will merely “prime the pump” to keep us thanking God hourly throughout the year.
Instead of two more written posts this week, we’re offering my sermon last Sunday on giving thanks: “Oh, Good!” Do you realize that the motivation for the first sin was discontentment? Even the Garden of Eden–paradise!–began to feel “insufficient” to Adam and Eve. I talk about how my life was changed dramatically 35 years ago when I was launched from feeling sorry for myself to living a life of joy–even when nothing in my life circumstances had changed. This was reinforced when Lisa and I visited one of the first public hospitals ever built in Europe, and we discovered the astonishing reason why people faked being sick to sneak in! Taking a journey through the Scriptures, we explore how to travel from ungratefulness to a life of happiness-producing thankfulness, and the power of a two-word phrase to change how we respond to every situation.
May you all have a blessed holiday!
