Thanksgiving Traditions

Happy Thanksgiving, EF fam! 
Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, whomever you’re with… 
We hope you know how thankful we are for you. 
Thank you for being part of our family 🙏 

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances…” 
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

A reminder to try not to focus so much on the food, the presentation of your home, or your outfit, but rather the hope from Heaven we have in Jesus and the people and memories made around the table you’re sitting at.
