It is easy to give thanks when things are going our way. But what about when they are not?

Hi-this is Kathleen Maxwell-Rambie and welcome to The Gathering-Bringing God into Everyday Life. I am taking a short break during the holidays from my regular teachings at The Gathering. During the break, I will be sharing newspaper articles I have written on various topics and posted on my blog. You can check out my blog on www.themaxwellminutes.blogspot.com.  So, sit back, relax and enjoy!

This short episode on Uncommon Thanks.

Did you know that giving thanks is good for you and those around you? It can quickly adjust your attitude and the main reason we should be thankful, is because God says so numerous times in the Bible. Being thankful is a powerful tool that helps us through daily life, as well as adversity. This podcast was one of the favorites of the live recordings of The Gathering.

Are you tired of waiting? Have prayers that haven't been answered yet? Then, you won't want to miss this podcast, God is in the Waiting. There is a big difference in simply waiting and waiting on God. This recording will cover the benefits of waiting, how to wait and partner with God in the waiting.

Life happens, and sometimes it can cause our heart to break. Grief and heartbreak are a part of life and when embraced can benefit and make you a better person. There are many different kinds of grief beyond the loss of a loved one. Grief can be experienced in the loss of a job, moving to a new location, children leaving home, death of a dream and divorce. We will explore letting go, the benefits of grief, healing of your heart, and how to thrive in the seasons of loss. This lesson is also designed to help friends and family of someone grieving better understand their loved ones. Grief is a great teacher that can teach us much about understanding ourselves and others.

 Do you try to control things in your life? Often times, control issues stem from fear or difficulty trusting God. Have you ever wondered how you trust God when bad or difficult things happen in your life? Our lesson will talk about these questions, ways to let go, and the many benefits of trusting in a God who loves us dearly.

 Grace is something I couldn't live without. It is always there, always free,  and very helpful in many of life's difficult situations. It is also defined as God's undeserved favor in our life but it is also the power we need in tough situations. You will love this message, this valuable tool to put in your tool belt to deal with challenging situations.

Transitions come in many ways in life from having a baby, empty nest, a move, retirement, loss of a loved one, etc.  God has a lot to say about transitions and how we navigate them is very important and a great learning tool. We will unpack the benefits of transitions and discover how God is right in the middle of them.

What you think about God is the most important thought you will ever have. Why? Because understanding who He really is, governs how we see ourselves and others. Once we understand, recognize and experience His character, then we can trust the God who loves us dearly. If you have a difficult time trusting God, try to control things in your life, you will love this podcast.
