Joyful generous giving starts with gratitude. With recognizing that God is the one who has given. God is the one who has blessed us.

So may we continue to give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that God is with us, knowing that we're not alone.

We're quick to go to God with our prayers when we need something. But we're not always as quick to come back with our praises.

We have generations of Christians who have come before so that we too, perched upon their shoulders can see what God is doing in our world.
