/Episode 0038 : ThanksLiving
This episode is all about living a life of thanks. The sisters talk about the impact that gratitude has on the brain vs. the impact that complaining and negativity have on the brain...and body and spirit. They also offer some easy contemplative rhythms for you to practice as you enter the busy holiday rush.

Giving Thanks is God’s Will For Our Lives
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray constantly, 18 give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Don’t stifle the Spirit. 20 Don’t despise prophecies, 21 but test all things. Hold on to what is good. 22 Stay away from every kind of evil.
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.
