Giving produces thankfulness

Thankfulness

There are so many things available to us instantly. We can receive orders from Amazon the same day, groceries can be delivered in hours, and we can even watch movies on demand. We don’t have to wait for anything. And because of that we get impatient or ungrateful when things take longer than we want.

How do we get back into a season of thankfulness? How do we return to the simpler life we used to have where we had time to talk to neighbors, write a letter, or make a phone call. When we take time to give to others, whether that is time, resources, or money, it increases your mental and physical well being and helps us have a heart of gratefulness.

Did You Know?

GivingTuesday started as a simple idea in 2012. It’s a day that encourages people to do good and it inspires people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. This year, GivingTuesday will be on November 30th. We encourage you to mark your calendar and start this season filled with love and generosity.

The hope found in Jesus allows us to change our attitudes, worries, fears etc. into a love, joy, and a spirit of thankfulness. What are you thankful for this season? Let’s focus on what we have instead of what we don’t have. You can record what you are thankful for here.
