This week on Southern Sisters, we’re leaning into a truth that hits especially close to home this time of year: gratitude changes everything. As the holidays approach and the world shouts “more,” we’re slowing down to talk about what it really means to live with abundance — not the kind that comes from a paycheck or possessions, but the kind that grows from a thankful heart. We kick off the thankful season as the sisters dive deep into how gratitude and stewardship go hand in hand. They share personal stories about shifting from scarcity thinking to abundant living, what it means to make intentional financial choices, and how to see God’s hand of provision even in seasons of uncertainty. They remind us that being careful with what we have doesn’t mean living in lack — it means honoring the Giver. Gratitude isn’t just an emotion; it’s a mindset that changes how we see, give, and live. When we focus on what’s already in our hands, we begin to experience joy, peace, and contentment right where we are. This episode is an invitation to pause and notice the blessings hiding in plain sight — the laughter around your table, the roof over your head, the people who show up, and the God who never stops providing. Because when we live from gratitude, we stop chasing “more” and start living like we already have enough.   Episode Highlights Thankfulness and abundance are essential for a fulfilling life. How gratitude shifts your mindset from scarcity to sufficiency. Intentional financial decisions are a form of stewardship and worship. Living abundantly starts before wealth ever arrives. Being a good steward means trusting God with both the little and the much.
