… give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Why would God ask us to do such a difficult thing?
Some time ago I shared the story of an mountain climber who fell into a crevasse during a blizzard and was given up as dead. Trapped, with no way to climb up and out, he started to climb down. When he got to the bottom of the crevasse, he discovered, to his complete surprise, a light. There was an opening in the ice. There was a light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanksgiving is like this. It is a light in a dark place — not because it is, in itself, some kind of magical incantation, but rather because it brings God near, and He is our way of escape.
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
