"The Ministry of Gratitude" | Head Elder Alex Clerk
Greetings, beloved members and friends of Palo Alto Church,
Summary
This week, we started the holiday season with the celebration of Thanksgiving. We sat at the dinner table with our friends and family, enjoyed wonderfully prepared food, and gave thanks to our creator for His many blessings. Thanksgiving, I want to remind everyone, walks hand in hand with gratitude and so we must also turn our hearts to the ministry of gratitude, exploring a powerful passage from the Gospel of Luke, specifically Luke 4:38-39. In these verses, we find a brief but profound encounter that unveils the transformative power of gratitude in the service of our Lord, Jesus.
Gratitude allows us to give service, care, or aid and also attend as to needs, necessities, or even wants of others. It pulls us to minister to the needs of the hungry. Gratitude provides a path for us to contribute to the comfort or happiness of others. That is what we are about this Thanksgiving week.
