Welcome to God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, and this is our Thanksgiving edition.In this episode, I want to share a message about developing a truly thankful heart, regardless of our circumstances. I'll take you back to a time when my children were small and we started a Thanksgiving tradition that brought us closer to God and each other. But what happens when life throws trials and tribulations our way? How can we still find reasons to be thankful when times are tough? I'll share some examples from Scripture that inspire me and demonstrate true faith in the face of adversity. And in a recent speaking engagement, I introduced the "Thanksgiving chair" concept to challenge my audience.  So this Thanksgiving season, I invite you to join me in creating your own "Thanksgiving chair" and reflect on the year's blessings and challenges. Whether your jar overflows with blessings or is filled with sorrows, may the One who works all things together for His children's good and for His glory fill you up with genuine gratitude.To give to the Agape Christmas Shelter Love Day: https://bit.ly/3ZTyRSMHappy Thanksgiving!Support the showClick on the link above to support us and help keep this show going!Click on the links to connect with Patricia on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube
