In this podcast being recorded just before Thanksgiving, we are thinking about about thanking. We are thinking about gratitude and  we are thinking about home. “Gratitude begins in our hearts and then dovetails into behavior.” writes Anne Lamott. Today’s theme is on how we can set the table of our lives  for a renewed practice of giving thanks.  Our Thanksgiving List builds upon Romans 12:9-18.

Some of you may be listening to this podcast while traveling home. Or you are in the kitchen making preparations, getting ready to receive family at your home. Home isn’t ultimately a destination. It’s where life happens. It’s about the pets buried in the backyard and the pencil marks on the closet door showing how tall the kids have grown.
