When you think of Thanksgiving, what comes to mind? Turkey with all the trimmings? Napping in front of a football game? Family coming together? Probably all the above! What we might not think of (at least until we are in the moment!), is the stress that often comes with the gathering of diverse family members. When we do think of it ahead of time, the worrying can lead to sleepless nights as we approach the big holiday. That’s when we can look up to the One who is in control of everything.
Paul recognized this and in his first letter to the people of Thessalonica he said (5:18):
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We are to be thankful in all circumstances…not just the stress-free moments! But it’s sure much easier to say than to do. So how do we handle the stress and the worry? I’m glad you asked! And I’m excited to share what’s in this month’s Box of Blessings:
