Dear Friends,
As the season changes, so do our rhythms. The world may rush toward the holidays, but what if we slowed down enough to actually savor the goodness already present?
This month, we’re leaning into gratitude as a spiritual practice - not just for what we have, but for who God is and how He meets us, right where we are. And we’re rooting ourselves in peace - the kind that doesn’t depend on circumstances, but flows from a grounded and grateful heart. One of many verses which reflects the heart posture of gratitude as a daily, intentional practice is 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (NIV):
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Reflection Questions:
🧡 What are you thankful for right now? Not just the obvious blessings, but the hidden graces?
🧡 Where in your life do you need more peace? How might you create space to receive it?
Prayer: "Lord, still our racing thoughts. Slow our hurried hearts. Teach us the beauty of gratitude and the strength of peace. May we create room in our lives to encounter You - and to flourish, rooted and whole. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
