Reflections and Hymns of Gratitude – Irene Erb and Vanessa Schattman – audio recording

1 Thessalonians 5:14-18

¹⁴ And we urge you, brothers and sisters, to admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all of them.  ¹⁵ See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.  ¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray without ceasing, ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Philippians 4:4-7

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  ⁵ Let your gentleness be known to everyone.  The Lord is near.  ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  ⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
