15th November World Sunday School Day: Childhood growing in favor with God and people

Transcription

1 Thomas said to him, My Lord and My God. (St. John 20:28) Issue No. 11 Vol. VII November 2013 A Monthly publication for the St. Thomas Mar Thoma Church, Kuwait Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. - Melody Beattie P.O. Box Safat Kuwait Tel : (Res.)
