🍂 SUNDAY ENCOURAGEMENT🍂

There are people God places in our lives who become part of our story.
The person who encouraged you when you needed it.
The friend who prayed when life felt heavy.
The teacher who planted a seed.
The neighbor who showed up.
The person who helped point you back to Jesus.

And sometimes, we don’t realize just how much those people mean to us until we stop long enough to thank God for them.

📖 “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT

This October, our theme at Choices is “We are grateful for YOU,” and we want it to be more than words on the front of our catalog. We want it to be something we live out.

So here’s your Sunday encouragement:
Be the person someone else thanks God for. ❤️
Encourage someone.
Pray for someone.
Show up for someone.
Speak life into someone.

Remind someone they are seen and loved.
And while you’re at it, take a moment to thank God for the people who have done the same for you.

From all of us at Choices Christian Living, we truly are grateful for YOU and for the community God has allowed us to be part of. 🍂❤️

🍎📚 Happy World Teachers’ Day!

Today we’re celebrating the teachers who do so much more than teach lessons. They encourage, inspire, guide, and help little hearts and minds grow every single day. ❤️

At Choices Christian Living, we have meaningful ways to encourage both teachers AND students!

✨ Looking for a way to thank a special teacher? Stop in and find cards, gifts, books, and little reminders that say, “What you do matters.”
✨ Teachers, we have something for you too! Come check out our affordable little gifts, trinkets, and encouraging items you can give to your students throughout the year to remind them:

You are loved. You are seen. You are capable. Keep growing. 🌱

Sometimes the smallest gesture can make the biggest impact.

Today, help us celebrate the incredible teachers in our community! Tag a teacher below and tell them THANK YOU! 🍎❤️

🍂 SUNDAY ENCOURAGEMENT 🍂

We are grateful for YOU. ❤️

Sometimes gratitude looks like thanking God for what He has given us. And sometimes, it looks like thanking Him for who He has placed in our lives.
The friend who checks in.
The family member who always shows up.
The pastor who faithfully teaches.
The person who prayed for you when you couldn't find the words.
The neighbor who became a friend.
The people God has used to encourage you, strengthen you, and walk alongside you.

Paul wrote:
📖 “Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.”
Philippians 1:3 NLT

What a beautiful reminder that people are blessings, too.

So today, think of someone you're grateful God placed in your life, and don't just think it. Tell them. Send the text. Make the call. Write the card. Let them know, “I thank God for you.” ❤️

And from all of us at Choices Christian Living, we want you to know that we are grateful for YOU, too. Thank you for being part of this community and for allowing us to grow in faith alongside you. 🍂📖

✨ Sunday Encouragement ✨

Some blessings don't look like blessings at first.
The closed door.
The unexpected change.
The prayer that wasn't answered the way you hoped.
The season that stretched you.
The plan that fell apart.

In the moment, it's hard to understand why God would allow certain things. But sometimes, when we look back, we can see His hand in ways we couldn't see before.

What felt like rejection was redirection.
What felt like waiting was preparation.
What felt like loss made room for something new.
What felt like an interruption became a blessing in disguise.

📖 "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Notice Scripture doesn't tell us to be thankful for every circumstance. It tells us to give thanks in every circumstance.

We can thank God because even when life doesn't make sense, He is still faithful. He is still present. He is still working.

Maybe there's something in your life today that you don't understand yet.
Keep trusting Him.

One day, you may look back and realize the thing you questioned was one of the ways God was caring for you all along. 🤍
Have a blessed Sunday!
