    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 2,959 views

    When our mind is set up on the things of the Spirit, we will be “outward focused.” When our mind is set upon the things of the flesh, we re “inward focused.” Thanksgiving directs our attention toward God.

    1. Review of Inside Out a. We are selfish, self-centered and self-absorbed. b. We turn to meeting our own needs and our own wants all too easily. c. God doesn’t want us to be that way. i. How do I know that? Because that is what is at the core of what we call sin – self. ii. If you think about this ...read more

    Being thankful is more than simple a self-centered "Thank God for what he has done for ME." It is gratitude to God for his character and faithfulness.

    True gratitude transforms us—recognizing God’s mercy in our lives leads to deeper healing, richer faith, and a life made whole by thankfulness.

    Some of us walked in today with smiles that fit like borrowed shoes. They look fine, but they don’t feel right. Hearts a little hurried. Souls a bit sore.
