Have you noticed how gratitude seems to slip through the cracks of our busy schedules? When we're rushing from one task to the next, barely catching our breath, thankfulness often takes a backseat to our to-do lists.

Chris and Taylor Bruin reveal a simple practice that can slow down this cycle of constant motion and help us rediscover the gift of our blessings.
While we may aspire to bring our absolute best to the Lord in daily family worship, the reality of life often interferes, leaving us feeling unprepared or inadequate. In this reel, Chris and Taylor Bruin explain that God values our sincere efforts, however imperfect they may be.
