Book Review: The Power of Thank You by Joyce Meyer

Book Review: The Power of Thank You by Joyce Meyer

Posted on March 26, 2022July 2, 2022 by Laura Zielke

Joyce Meyer’s new book The Power of Thank You: Discover the Joy of Gratitude is an easy read filled with practical steps to help you live a more intentionally grateful life. And. I cringed. More than once. 😖 That said, The Power of Thank You is a timely reminder that we can always find something…

Posted @withregram • @loveeletters your direction is more important than your speed 🌿✨ #LifeGoals Posted @withregram • @my_jigsawlife I’m glad to see this and obligated to share. Trying to silence truth tellers is white supremacy. And white supremacy is evil. Note to self 💛 Word. Posted @withregram • @sandravanopstal It’s the silence and the silencing for me.  My first year of ministry someone at my church “rebuked” me for posting something about love  from #mlkjr stating that he was not a real Chrisitan. The post by @deidrariggs accompanying this graphic is a powerful wake up call for White people. Don’t hit the snooze button. Read this post. Anything you can do to spread the word, do it. There’s plenty of money out there to help heal the world. Posted @withregram • @journey_to_wellness_ 😳Truth: I’m so nervous right now…
