Giving Thanks

We are only a week out from Thanksgiving, but things around the world seem pretty bleak. Terrorist attacks, rejection of faith, and political divides fill our headlines and our minds. In the midst of sorrow, however, there are still so many things to be thankful for. Not only are we commanded to be thankful, but we also have a nationwide holiday dedicated to gratitude. And research shows that expressing thankfulness has a similar effect on the brain as taking anti-depressants.We are all blessed beyond measure with material things, but far more by the peace that comes from Christ. Even our sufferings can bring us to a place of gratitude.

So for today, write about what you are thankful for.
