À propos de cet audio

 It's Thanksgiving Day—and between the turkey, the pie, and the endless sink of dishes, it's easy for even the most grateful heart to slip into grumbling. But what if this Thanksgiving, instead of focusing on what's missing, we helped our daughters rediscover the beauty of selflessness? In this warm and faith-filled Thanksgiving episode, Rachael Culpepper, Executive Director of American Heritage Girls, and Melissa Bearden unpack how gratitude can transform a selfish heart into a selfless one. Drawing on Proverbs 11:25, they remind us that "whoever refreshes others will be refreshed," and that true thankfulness doesn't stop at words—it's lived out in acts of generosity, humility, and service. You'll also hear from Patti Garibay, AHG Founder and Executive Director Emeritus, in a Raising Godly Girls Minute. This powerful one-minute serves as a reminder that selflessness isn't just good manners—it's a mark of spiritual maturity. Through practical ideas like encouraging your daughter to serve someone quietly or offering gratitude to others at the Thanksgiving table, Rachael and Melissa show how even small acts of service can cultivate joy and reshape a heart toward Christlike giving. As moms, it's tempting to chase perfection during the holidays—but this episode will remind you that the most meaningful memories are made when we slow down, serve, and model the selfless love of Jesus. Whether you're tuning in from the kitchen or the car ride to Grandma's, this Thanksgiving conversation will help you center your heart (and your daughter's!) on what really matters: a spirit of gratitude that overflows into generous love. Three Things to Remember: Selflessness is the antidote to selfishness. A life focused on others brings the refreshment God promises in Proverbs 11:25. Gratitude grows through service. Serving shifts our daughters' eyes from what they lack to how much they have to give. Thanksgiving is more than a holiday. Daily selflessness and intentional gratitude build a rhythm of generosity that honors God year-round. Scripture Referenced in This Episode: Proverbs 11:25 – "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." Philippians 2:3–4 – "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." John 13:14–15 – Jesus' example of humble service in washing His disciples' feet. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – "Give thanks in all circumstances."
