EVEN IF...

Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego. We have all likely heard the retelling of their story. These three men refused to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue which resulted in the king throwing the men into a fiery furnace.

But before the king sent the men to their ultimate doom, he gave them one more chance to obey him.

Nebuchadnezzar asked them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and

Abednego, is it true that you don’t serve my gods or worship

the gold statue I have set up? Now if you’re ready, when you

hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum,

and every kind of music, fall down and worship the statue I

made. But if you don’t worship it, you will immediately be

thrown into a furnace of blazing fire— and who is the god

who can rescue you from my power?”

Daniel 3:14-15 CSB

The men knew this was their last chance. They also knew if they didn't obey the king's command, they would die. They could have simply bowed down to the king when the music began and saved their lives.

KEEP AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE ON THANKSGIVING

 Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him and bless His name.
Psalm 100:4

Tomorrow we gather together with loved ones to enjoy fellowship and feast. There will be love and laughter. Deep conversations and reminiscing. Football games and parades. Delicious food and desserts. We will have so much to be thankful for.

There will also be messes to clean up, empty chairs where loved ones once sat, and possibly even tension from a strained relationship. So how can we navigate the holiday and keep an attitude of gratitude even during the messes and pain?

Keep your eyes firmly fixed on God. Even though the holiday brings so much busyness, be purposeful to start your day with Jesus. Open your Bible and enter into His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Don't let your day fully start until you've spent time with the Father.

LITTLE HOUSE HOMECOMING {GIVEAWAY}

My husband and I love older TV shows and movies. We like to find the entire series, whether on DVD or streaming, and binge watch. Last year my husband found the entire series of Little House on the Prairie, a show I've always loved, so whenever we have some time, we lie in bed and watch the Ingalls family.

There is something so special about Little House on the Prairie. It's wholesome. It's about faith, family, love, and community. It's about watching a father discipline his children gently in love. It's about watching a community come together to take care of each other. It's everything good. And what makes it even better is that it's real. It's about a real family and real community.

Fifty-one years ago Little House came out and it is still watched and loved all over. I am thrilled to share about the Little House Homecoming, a journey that brings together members of the original cast and generations of fans in a shared tribute to love, hope, and belonging.

This documentary is hosted by Dean Butler and Alison Arngrim as a virtual cinema event that allows us to experience this special homecoming from the comfort of our own home. We travel through the different museums and see cast members like Karen Grassle (Caroline Ingalls), Dean Butler (Almanzo Wilder), Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson), Charlotte Stewart (Miss Beadle) and Wendi Lou Lee (Baby Grace). I will say that I was disappointed that Melissa Gilbert, (Laura Ingalls herself), and Melissa Sue Anderson (Mary Ingalls) were not in the documentary. But it was so wonderful to see the rest of the cast, including two of Michael Landon's children -Michael Landon Jr and Leslie Landon- and Victor French's children -Victor French Jr and Tracy French.

Watching this documentary shows just how much of an impact Little House on the Prairie had then and still has today. I loved watching this documentary and I know you will too.

Buy tickets today to see Little House Homecoming on Trellis Virtual Cinema starting November 26th! Learn more HERE.
