Verse of the Week

"Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!" - 1 Chronicles 16:8 (NIV)

As we head into Thanksgiving week, let's not just think about what we're thankful for, but also whether or not we are giving glory to God for the things we are thankful for. Are we letting others know about God's deeds in our lives?

I admit that one has been a challenge for me in this season of motherhood. I don't know that I do a great job of 1) letting my kids know specifically about the things God is always doing in our lives, and 2) sharing with friends that these good gifts in my life are from God alone.
