Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

Are you more thankful when things are going well in your life?
Are you thankful when things are not going well for you?
How things are going for us shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether or not we're thankful. If you have the superpower of Thanksgiving, then you understand that you have reasons to be thankful even when everything is not going perfectly in your life. Today we will read about some difficult times in the lives of the Hebrew People. Times were bad but Habbakuk reminded them that they still had reasons to be thankful to God.

En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
