You ever see your family just down in the dumps? Maybe a loss hit hard, sickness lingers, or bad news stole your smiles. We’ve all been there. But listen, there’s a game-changer: thankfulness. Science backs it—studies show gratitude pumps up those feel-good brain chemicals, like dopamine. Psychologists say you can’t hold onto depression and thankfulness at the same time—one’s gotta give! That might be why the Bible encourages thanksgiving. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says “Give thanks in all circumstances.” Colossians 4:2 says to be in prayer and watch with thanksgiving. So, tonight, gather your crew. Share three things each person is thankful for. Watch the darkness of sadness, give way to the brightness of joy – joy that comes from thankfulness.
Sadness fills our house, can we change it?
