In this episode, I'm talking about gratitude—the simple yet powerful practice that can transform how we see and experience life. I'll share how gratitude can be something we do, something we practice, and something we feel, along with the physical, social, and emotional benefits it brings. We'll explore how shifting our focus to what's good, even in hard times, can help us feel more grounded, connected, and at peace.

Thanksgiving is more than just turkey and stuffing. Jim Daly shares why, at its heart, Thanksgiving is all about being aware of the blessings God has given us. Support Family Ministry If you enjoyed listening to Focus on the Family Commentary, please give us your feedback.

Listen to today's podcast... “What do you say?”  “Thank you” As parents, we probably said this a lot, as we taught our children to be thankful for the gifts that they received or when others did nice things for them. Are You Thankful? I think as adults we sometimes forget to be thankful.  We often focus on the difficulties and on the things that are not going right and sometimes we lose sight of the things that are going well and the blessings that we have received. A line of wisdom goes…You cannot welcome more abundance into your life until you have said thanks to the universe for all that you have.

There is a liberating power that is unleashed when we realize what we deserve as sinners and yet receive what only God's grace could give: love, acceptance, favor, and blessing! Out of this encounter with God comes thankfulness. Henry Van Dyke put it this way, “Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.” Join us in this series on the Art of Giving Thanks.

The Ten Lepers: Luk 17:11-19 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

How do we give thanks when things go wrong? More than that, how do we give thanks when things go wrong because of our sin? Psalm 79 addresses these very issues. With Jerusalem in ruins and the people lamenting their sin, we see that thankful hearts are born in disastrous times when we seek the glory of God.

The United States may have an official day of gratitude every November with Thanksgiving, but for many of us, most every day could be a day of appreciation. A sincere "thank you" is rewarding for everyone: It feels good to say it and it feels good to hear it. However, appreciation can be complicated and "thank you" may come with a twist. Sometimes we're grateful (in hindsight, at least) for the lessons we've learned from difficult people. Sometimes we feel generalized happiness for family and/or friends. Sometimes we're just thankful to no one in particular that we're happy for no reason in particular. And of course sometimes expressions of gratitude are just a cover for dark feelings. In this episode of "How We Heard It" your hosts sift through an array of old and new songs that directly or indirectly express gratitude. Artists include Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, The Kinks, Sly and the Family Stone, The Beatles, Big Star, Natalie Merchant, Taylor Swift, Bob Hope, Elton John, Louis Armstrong, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, The Beach Boys, Backstreet Boys, Alanis Morissette, James Taylor, Small Faces, Kool & the Gang, U2, Spice Girls, Boyz II Men and many more.

In the spirit of that prayer, and in the light of this Feast of All Saints, I hope we turn our attention—as our ancestors did—to the relief of those in need. Our feeding ministries—Beans and Rice, Food Boxes, Angel Food and dinners for New Beginnings—have all been affected by rising costs.  We continue to serve those in need and have seen an increase in the numbers of those who come to us for food.  Our response in these times must be one of love, humility, and generosity.  We will continue to meet the rising demands placed on our food ministries and we need your help to do so. 

Uncertainty is a common problem for mankind. Whether we are waiting for a medical test to come back or we are in a situation outside of our control, uncertainty stirs up fear and grief, causing us to draw away from God, not near to him. Whether we are in uncertain circumstances or not, the call is still the same: give thanks to the Lord. Psalm 56 offers a stunning vision of how uncertainty must drive us to faith and thanksgiving in our trustworthy God.

Giving Thanks

Are you a grumbler? Dave examines the story of ancient Israel to reveal how a lack of gratitude leads to a hardened heart that misses out on experiencing God. This sermon is part of our “Experience God” sermon series. How do you experience God? God has given us many ways to step into his transformational presence, but too few take advantage of these gifts. Join The Crossing as we explore and experiment with ancient Christian practices to help us encounter God in new ways this fall. Want to get the most out of each week's sermon?

"How do we express our gratitude?" Sermon by the Very Rev'd Julia McCray-Goldsmith, retired Dean of Trinity Cathedral in San Jose, California. Recorded live at the 10:00 am service on Sunday, October 12, 2025.

Father Mike Raschko preaches at the 10:00am Mass on Sunday, October 12, 2025, the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

James 1:17-18 (NASB) 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. 18 In the exercise of His will He gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. Theme: God, who is the wonderful, wondrous Giver of physical and spiritual life, should receive continuous gratitude from us as His new creations. 1) Who God is >> His Wonderful Character (1:17) 2) What God does >> His Wondrous Works (1:18)

Psalm 18 - Take 2 - Singing Praise - Giving Thanks

Connecting people to a life-changing relationship with Jesus.

Do you have difficulty expressing thanks to people? Many do. But what about expressing thanks to God? Scripture tells us this is not only important, it's essential. In Romans 1:20–21, we see a warning against neglecting to thank God:
