Coming off the Feast and looking ahead to Thanksgiving, we should recognize the value of being a grateful people. There are hidden enemies of gratitude, and they can cause us to not only work against Godly growth in our lives but can keep us from entering His Kingdom. What triggers these enemies and how do we keep them from rooting in us?
