Throughout the month of May, we will be posting #ThursdaysInBlack devotions. We ask that you read along and also wear your black on Thursdays to stand in solidarity with those experiencing gender-based violence around the world. https://t.co/9Qd3zinIrQ @wccWoMen

Take a moment today and consider these questions from @GCSRW

Do you keep a gratitude journal or name the ways you are grateful each day? 
How can you be more intentional in practicing gratitude?

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” ~Psalms 94:19, NIV

Brené Brown Ph. D, LMSW notes that making time in our day each day to express gratitude can lead us to joy even when life feels less than joyful.

As today marks the beginning of Lent, we thought we would share a devotional that some of us over at COSROW found hope and healing in.

The United Methodist Church has a rich history of hymn writers—and not just Charles Wesley. Today we highlight and honor Fanny Crosby and her faithful gift to the generations that have followed.
