Practice thanksgiving daily. I often hear people say that we should not start celebrating Christmas until after Thanksgiving. I say we should celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving year-round. At Thanksgiving we are thanking God for all He has done for us and at Christmas, we are thanking God for His Son, Jesus, and all He continually does for us.

We may not have experienced being released from Read More
