Jess and I are currently trying to teach Henry to be more polite. It’s not that he’s a jerk, but we are trying to help him understand when he needs to say “Please” or “Thank you.” What is interesting to me is that this does not come naturally to him. Being verbally thankful is something that we have to be taught. And I don’t think I am any different than Henry. I still struggle with being thankful.

I have been given so much in my life. I grew up in a great family. I have wonderful friends. I have a beautiful wife and an amazing son. I am healthy and able. I can see. I can hear. There is so much for which I ought to feel grateful. However, if I am not careful I can get so bogged down in my own pity party that I can quickly forget all of the great things God has given to me.

How do we stay thankful? How do we recognize that what we have is a gift? And where does God fit in all of this?

That’s what we’ll be talking about at this year’s Disciple Now. We’ll be joined by Rev. Meredith Holladay from First Baptist Church in Lawrence, KS. She’ll be leading us in thinking about thankfulness.

But that’s not all! We’ll also be playing games, acting stupid, eating junk food, and participating together in a service project in our community. Disciple Now is one of my absolute favorite events of the year. Please, please, please invite your friends!
