013 :: It is Good to Give Thanks, But Always?

Happy Thanksgiving brothers and sisters! This week Ralph has an extra Thanksgiving episode where he shares about the scriptural exhortations to always give thanks and explains how and why this is both possible and good; and how we owe it to God.  “Paul says, ‘Rejoice in the Lord always.' How we can do that? Because no matter what our sufferings are, no matter what our disappointments are, no matter what our isolation may be at times, no matter what the rejection may be, no matter what the failures may be, no matter what things we may be ashamed of, no matter what the circumstances are, there is reason to rejoice. And why is that the case? Because we are loved. We are loved profoundly, steadfastly, in a way that will never end.” //Ralph Martin
