Thanksgiving-giving thanks in everything-prepares the way that God might show us His fullest salvation in Christ.

Darkness transfigures into light, bad transfigures into good, grief transfigures into grace, empty transfigures into full. God wastes nothing – ‘makes everything work out according to his plan.’ (Ephesians 1:11).

There is unwavering peace today when an uncertain tomorrow is trusted to an unchanging God.

Giving thanks is that: making the canyon of pain into a megaphone to proclaim the ultimate goodness of God when Satan and all the world would sneer at us to recant.

We give thanks to God not because of how we feel, but because of Who He is.

The prayers we weave into the matching of socks, the stirring of oatmeal, the reading of stories, they survive fire.

When the heart and mind focus on things unseen - that's when there's a visible change in us.
