INTRODUCTION TO "T"

Thankfulness, even as we go through hard times, really is a reflection of Faith.  Faith that although we see only a slight portion of what God is doing for us, all things work for good; faith that we are children with an inheritance from God Himself - an inheritance of abundant life; faith that we are cared for even though sometimes it doesn't seem that way to us. 

His plan for us, which we will see more and more every day, is a great reason to be thankful!

And Transformation doesn't really happen with New Year's Resolutions.  Rather, it happens when we let God Himself come and dwell within us!

"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn their darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.  These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them."  (Isaiah 42, NIV)
