We are officially entering the advent season, but before we begin celebrating the anticipation of the arrival of Jesus our Savior, we want to have a conversation on gratitude. The Bible calls us to gratitude from beginning to end and science tells us the benefits of expressing gratitude. As we move into the advent season, let's continue to remember all of the blessings God has given us in our lives, to be present and see God at work in the little and the big, but then to remember the bigger gift He has given in his son and the hope that brings us. The hope that allows us to experience joy in every circumstance.
