| Abstract -
Pastor Don uses the acronym T.H.A.N.K.S. to bring home a message that
being grateful for everything we have, including the tough times, is the
sign of a mature Christian walk. "Do you know you being grumpy is
contagious?" Learn how to be happy, and therefore making everyone
you touch around you happy. It's the right thing to do as we
approach this Christmas season. |
