Thanksgiving with Carrie Ellen

Hello friends and happy thanksgiving week!

I love Thanksgiving. And pie! But it hasn’t always been this way. Well except for the pie part. I’ve always loved pie. But I’ve struggled with the idea of living in gratitude, regardless of circumstance, and I bet you have too. It’s hard to give thanks when expectations are unmet or when we feel restless.

During a particularly ungrateful season of my life, a dear friend asked me when the last time I made a list of what I was grateful for was. I couldn’t remember. But I took her advice and I began to create short lists of what I was grateful for every day. And slowly, my perspective shifted and I began to recognize more and more the abundance I had in my life.

And not an abundance of things either. I was unemployed during this season. But rather, abundance of peace and of assurance of God’s presence. And this changed everything for me.

In this episode I share my heart for gratitude and living a life of gratitude, worship and generosity. I hope it’s an encouragement to you.

Grateful for you!
