In this final message of the series, Undré teaches us why busyness is such an enemy of gratitude.  Busyness puts the focus on ourselves and takes it off of the Lord and His Word.  Even being busy doing good, Christ-honoring things can cause us to miss the ‘better thing’ of actually spending time with Him.
