Soul-filled Thanksgiving
Now as we are moving toward the end of November our podcast is titled: “Soul-filled Thanksgiving.” Thankfulness is a soulful motive for our Christian life and conduct.

Thankfulness expresses our attitude and heart towards God and others. We draw close to Him with gratitude, and it is a soul-filled signal of our true affection.
As we are <...
