Studies have shown that gratitude is not only good for our relationships, but it’s also good for our health – physical, emotional, and spiritual. Thus to practice gratitude is to live into more than a feeling: it is to make a choice to be grateful by practicing it. To do that well, we need to first step back to see – and appreciate – all that we already have (and are).

In this message of the week from November 14th, Pastor Jen Tyler shares from 1 Thessalonians, reflecting on what it means to be grateful in all circumstances.
