It's no secret that the run-up to Christmas is fast and furious. Our society seems to all but skip over the Thanksgiving holiday. Some of us are successful in slowing down to quickly focus on some turkey and stuff that dinner into our stomachs before the press of Christmas activities are upon us. But is that the way that it should be? No. Thanksgiving is a significant holiday and one that shouldn't be breezed over. Through this series you'll learn how to enjoy Thanksgiving, allow the Lord to cultivate contentment and make it a good time for deepening your family relationships. Messages include; Thanksgiving, Transforming Family Gatherings, Contentment, Be Thankful - Faith In Action and Thankfulness.

The holiday season is coming up and that means lots of family gatherings. It also means being in one of the toughest mission fields. Many of us approach the holiday season with mixed feelings. We hope for warm, loving family times full of good food and good fellowship. But then remember that in reality, our gatherings are not so happy and not so fulfilling. Is your family a lost cause? Or is there a way to make a difference? In his message, "Transforming A Family", Pastor Steve gives us a list of practical Godly attitudes that will help us make a difference if we are to see change in others. Maybe this is the year God will use you to bring about change, and you might be surprised at how He goes about it! All the month of November you can receive a copy of this timely message, "Transforming A Family" when you send a gift of any amount to the ministry of Life Lessons. We depend on your gifts to keep Life Lessons on the air and this is our way of saying "Thank You" for your financial support of this ministry.
