Thankful in the Waiting: God's Blessings Bloom in His Time
In “Thankful in the Waiting: God’s Blessings Bloom in His Time,” Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows reflects on Luke 17:11–19 and the invitation to trust Jesus, notice His mercy, and return with thanks. While we wait for answers, we can take faithful steps and recognize the blessings God has already placed in our lives.
