Summary
In today's gathering, we focused on the profound and often overlooked power of gratitude. Gratitude is not just a fleeting feeling but a transformative practice that can reshape our lives and our relationship with God. By consistently expressing thankfulness, we open our hearts to receive more of God's grace and blessings. Gratitude shifts our perspective, allowing us to see beyond our immediate circumstances and recognize the continuous work of God in our lives.
