God is there in the neighbors and organizations that ensure everyone in their community is provided for. God God made God’s self known to us in Jesus to show us that – in the face of all our short-comings – God extends to us hope, joy, love, and peace. When all seemed lost, peace was born.

Keep a journal where you rec Loving God, Give us patience during times when gratitude is hard to find, and the faith that it will indeed be found. Amen. #tabletalk #togetherness #diversity #allvoices #youarewelcomehere #allarewelcomehere #thewelcometable #thewelcometableco @ Gratitude runs deep, as if springing up from the calmer depths beneath the rapids, from beneath the fury of the hustle and bustle of the season, from beneath the torrents of life’s unexpected twists and turns. It rises up from within, sometimes Thankfulness is a momentary sentiment in response to something that happens - a gift given by a friend, stranger holding the door, a phone call from my pastor. ��Gratitude, however, is more like a Spiritual practice. It is a deep sense of gratefulnes Even now, when gratitude seems to be the word of the moment for so many things - books, lists, seasons.
