Living a Life Filled With Thankfulness
“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.
