Growing up, I watched my grandmother face life's challenges with an unwavering spirit of joy and gratitude. Her selfless acts and thankful heart taught me that focusing on what we have, rather than what we lack, can truly transform our lives. Join us as we discuss practical ways to cultivate gratitude, such as maintaining a gratitude list, and delve into biblical teachings that highlight how gratitude can strengthen faith and relationships.

We're thrilled to welcome Shannon Alford, a seasoned child life specialist, who shares her invaluable insights on healing trauma in children through faith and compassion. As we wrap up, we reflect on finding peace in God's presence even during chaos, drawing from scripture and personal experiences to inspire calm in our lives.
