A Grateful Heart Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

We are not to be thankful only because of blessings, but even in spite of burdens, for life at its worst does not change the most precious truth for which we are to be thankful, and that is salvation through Jesus. There have been Christian people ...read more
