Thanksgiving – ErnteDANK

In this time of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope – that being grateful for the blessings of the preceding year helps us keep the focus right.

Despite all the challenging things that have been happening this year there are many things we can be truly grateful for:

  • Books
  • Friendship
  • Hope
  • Pets and Plants
  • Sunshine
  • Zoom

Always be joyful.

Never stop praying.

Be thankful in all circumstances,

for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

[The Bible]
