Let your November begin with Grace...

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, November is a time to focus on the many blessings we often take for granted. As we gather with loved ones, let us remember to give thanks to God for His unwavering faithfulness. May our hearts overflow with gratitude and our lives reflect His grace.

"Tell Him Thank You"

Growing up, I believed that a child was to be seen and not heard. It wasn’t until much later that I discovered how to find my own voice—to speak up, to say “no,” to say “ouch,” and so much more. But I always believed that I knew how to say thank you—and I'd say it a lot, actually! Sometimes I say thank you in my service, through a gift, sharing with others, or in other creative ways I enjoy. But, at its simplest, expressing thank you from the heart that God desires from us. That sounds more like a relationship, right?

In the book of Luke, while Martha focused on serving, Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet. (chapter 10, vs 38-42). Martha worked hard to welcome Jesus to her home. Her sister, Mary of Bethany, simply sat at His feet and listened. Both Mary and Martha serve, yet Mary understood the priority and necessity of choosing to abide with Christ. So, there we have it. The heart of the matter is... the heart.

We have both the means and the freedom to speak and show our gratitude. Yet in the midst of such busy times... just remember what a PRIVILEDGE it is to have a voice. In our relationship with God, our Father, we’re invited to have a real conversation with Him and to express how much He’s helped us become who we are today. He faithfully reaches out to bless us, give us grace, and complete the work He’s begun in us.

So, whenever you have the chance, seek Him, acknowledge Him, and say thank you!
