The Latitude and Longitude of Gratitude: Those Nearby
Verbally expressing emotions can be challenging. And ease of expression can vary with personality type. It sometimes surprises Bible readers to discover that the apostle Paul was so free in expressing positive emotions to others. But he was—and so should we be.
Which is harder to say: “I love you” or “I’m thankful for you”? Surprisingly, it may be the latter. We say, “I love you,” frequently to family, even to friends—and that's a good thing. But it’s easy for it to become habitual and less meaningful over time. What we don’t say very often is, “I’m thankful for you.” Those words imply a degree of humility and transparency that can be more challenging. Those words say, “Your presence in my life adds things that I could not experience if you weren’t here.”
Think about the people in your life for whom you are thankful. Now think about how often you have expressed your thankfulness to them—and purpose to do it more often.
Thankfulness is a flower which will never bloom well excepting upon a root of deep humility.

Pray for Turning Point to find additional opportunities to reach Russian speakers around the world.
Pray for the furtherance of the Gospel, specifically that more people will come to Christ through Turning Point's Russian television and YouTube programs.
Impact Story
“I grew up with atheist parents. They hated anything to do with God. I was recently saved while watching Turning Point. Dr. Jeremiah opened my eyes to the truth. I understand now we have a purpose here on earth. I told my parents of my faith and they were furious. But by continually reading my Bible and being encouraged by the programs and my church, I was able to influence even my father by the changes he saw in me. I convinced him to watch Turning Point with me and after the first program, he was hooked. He kept watching each week and finally asked if he could go to church with me. He was saved that Sunday along with my mother! He then talked with his two brothers and they too received Jesus when they saw the joy in him. Thank you for turning our world around.”
