Contagious Thanksgiving

Nov 14, 2025    Pastor Valerie Hooper

Reading: Psalm 34:1-3; Luke 1:39-47; Philippians 1:3-6


Devotional: When Mary visited Elizabeth, her joy sparked another's praise. Joy is never meant to be contained—it's designed to be contagious. Your thanksgiving becomes a living testimony that draws others to Jesus. When coworkers see you rejoicing in hardship, when family witnesses your gratitude in trials, when friends observe your consistent praise—they're reminded that God is still faithful. Your joy might be the spark someone else needs today. Don't hide your praise. Don't apologize for your gladness. Let your life become an upside-down umbrella—collecting reasons to thank God even in the storm. As you enter this new week, let your posture of thanksgiving multiply joy in others. Your worship is a witness.


Reflection Question: Who in your life needs to witness your contagious joy today, and how will you share it?
