In this season when focused on our thankfulness let’s try our best to be thankful regardless of our current circumstances. Let’s rely on who God is- his amazing character- when we consider our thanks. 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.  – Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV

You can’t control the length of your life, but you have the opportunity to determine its width and depth.

Christ is best displayed in Christmas, not through colorful lights, words or displays, but through you and me, through our affection and love for others, while enjoying the season and all it has to offer. Is your light shining this holiday season?
