Well, as is somewhat normal for me, I've started a thing a bit late, but it's so good I thought I'd share about an online Bible study - in case anyone reading would like to jump in. The study started last week, so really today is only one week late. Totally surmountable.
At https://www.faithgateway.com/one-thousand-gifts-obs-registration/ one can register to participate in a free 5-week Bible study on the topic of Thankfulness. The study is based on the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.
While I just got started this past weekend, it was easy to catch up. I'm not a stickler for filling in every blank of a study book, but in listening to the audio book (downloadable for free from Hoopla) and watching the videos, I've already gained so much! The e-book of One Thousand Gifts, as well as the Study Guide, are both also available free on Hoopla. I get access to Hoopla free through my county library system. You might want to check to see if you do too! For this or any reading - and movies too!
Anyway... if you're interested in a Bible study and think you'd like to learn a bit more about being thankful, this might be something you'll benefit from. With Thanksgiving this week (in the U.S.) it seems like the perfect time to begin. Just a few days in and I'm hooked.
If you're interested, you can click on the link above or on the graphic below to get to the site where you can sign up. A caveat: As with many online things, you may find yourself receiving e-mails you didn't ask for. They are easy enough to delete and/or unsubscribe from I'm finding.
I hope you have a very happy, contented Thanksgiving - whether it's with friends, family, or with just yourself. Honestly, I think focusing on things we can truly be thankful for (instead of disappointment in what we may be missing) can make this year's a most blessed Thanksgiving day. If you're reading this and don't live in the U.S., well... I hope you have a blessed and thankful Thursday too. :)
Love and peace to you all!
This sounds very intriguing Becki - thank you. I will see if our library has that access. And I will see if they happen to have that book as well. Odds aren't good, but perhaps they'll order a copy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day of giving thanks...you're so right that we should concentrate on that and set aside the expectations that used to be the norm.
Wonderful information to share. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThankful is a huge word hearing makes larger because not everyone stops to think of life in that way.
