Verse of the Day: Philippians 1:3

I thank my God every time I remember you.

Paul wrote this letter after leaving Philippi, where he had faced many hardships and painful trials. Yet he made a powerful choice, not to dwell on the suffering, but to focus on God’s goodness and continue his mission with joy. As we enter the holiday season, we’re reminded that while this time can be filled with warmth and celebration, it can also stir up grief and sorrow, especially for those who have lost loved ones.

But praise God, we have a living hope in Christ. As believers, we can find comfort in the promise that one day we will be reunited with those we’ve lost. This assurance brings peace, even in the middle of our pain.

Like the Apostle Paul, choose to focus on what is good. Treasure the memories that bring comfort, and give thanks for the strength God gives you each day. Be grateful for the people He has placed in your life.

Worship God by remembering those who have supported and encouraged you on your journey. Their love is a reflection of His heart. Take time this Thanksgiving to thank the Lord for their presence in your life and lift them up in prayer.

As you gather to celebrate, let your heart be full of sincere gratitude. Each day is a gift. Each person is a blessing. And every moment of kindness is worth cherishing. May your thanksgiving overflow into praise and may your life be a reflection of the love and faithfulness of God.

“Goodness of God” by Bethel Music & Jenn Johnson A perfect song for looking back and giving thanks for God’s goodness through every season.
