Tuesday Truths - Practicing Thankfulness

Content provided by guest writer, Jenna Finkenhoefer 10 years ago, I was dealing with some very serious health issues, and going through a period where I felt like I just couldn’t catch a break. Bad news continued to pile up on top of bad news. I was festering in a pool of sadness and negativity that I couldn’t seem to find my way out of.

Tuesday Truth - God Lives in Community

I am so preoccupied by myself and my struggles, I often forget to take time to engage with and encourage those around me.
