Episode #209 How do you experience joy when there is so much negativity?

How do you enjoy Christmas when so much seems to get in the way? How do you have a meaningful Christmas when things aren’t exactly what you want? Sunday, December 17, 2023 Luke 1:41-75 William Arthur Ward: “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” Chief Tecumseh of the Shawnee said: “When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.” Psalm 136:1-3 Give thanks to the Lord because he is good.     God’s faithful love lasts forever! Give thanks to the God of all gods—     God’s faithful love lasts forever. Give thanks to the Lord of all lords—     God’s faithful love lasts forever.
