MESSAGE OVERVIEW:

This Christmas, what are you grateful for? Your favorite Christmas memories might involve snowball fights, presents, or time with the people you love most . . . but feeling grateful and expressing gratitude are two pretty different things. When we really think about it, there's so much we can be thankful for - even when things don't work exactly as planned. God has given us so much, and the birth of Jesus is a great way to focus on all of the gifts we've received this year, and to say thank you too! We'll look at a classic Christmas story to see what it can teach us about gratitude as we celebrate Jesus' birth. As we do, we'll be reminded to be thankful for each other, what God has done, and God's promises, and to be thankful even when it's not easy.

Here's a question for you. What Christmas traditions do you most look forward to every year? Reply to this email and let us know!
