CAROL STREAM, Ill., Nov. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- The November issue of the Kyria digizine, available today, encourages women to live gratefully in this season of Thanksgiving- and every day.
Editor Ginger Kolbaba says, "This month’s issue of the Kyria digizine is on the spiritual discipline of gratitude—the practice of acknowledging that all we are and have is given to us as a gift of love from the Giver of all good things. We want this issue to help women see the importance of responding to what life dishes up with thankfulness."
Featured is an interview with Sally Clarkson, author of Dancing with My Father: How God Leads Us into a Life of Grace and Joy (WaterBrook), who says that you can’t have joy unless you're grateful, and you can’t be grateful unless you acknowledge that God is in control. "When I train myself to use the eyes of my heart to see God’s fingerprints on each moment, it changes those moments."
A portion of the Kyria digizine is free access and open to everyone. The November issue features the following articles:
