• As Thanksgiving draws near does your family feel as though your world is coming apart?
• Are you and your family struggling to get through the holiday's with a positive attitude?
  
• Each day brings more stories of families adjusting to losses; homes, careers, dreams shattered, doors shuttered, family rooms empty of the family who once gathered there.

Recessions have the ability to bring people back to appreciation of the basics of life.

"And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude" Matthew 15:36 In the telling of this episode in the book of Matthew, the Lord Jesus Christ has given an example of giving thanks for the provision.

• Even if your family will be experiencing a very different season of plenty,
• Help your children to know the importance and joy of being thankful.
• Changing the focus of your thoughts each day since the loss of your finances, to gratitude for basic things in life can make a big difference in your family's travel on the highway toward the Thanksgiving Feast. It is very important to keep that perspective when so much loss is facing you daily.
• Just so your losses don't overtake you, begin to give thanks.

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and sing praises to His Name, O Most High." Psalm 92:1

Continuing in Him, the God of All Hope,
