Are you ready to give thanks with us today?

Stay tuned for a look at the Gibbons, the Not Gibbons, and giving thanks always.

Welcome to another look into the life and message of Elizabeth Elliott, as you called

us to live to a higher standard each day.

Not to be satisfied with just a little religion thrown into our lives.

That's a shallow substitute for what God wants for us.

As this series continues in the coming weeks, we'll hear from family, friends, and others

who were influenced by Elizabeth's life and message.

Today, we continue our five-week look at how to simplify your life.

Two gateway to joy broadcasts, giving thanks always and the Gibbons and the Not Gibbons.

Our guest today, Bob Schuster and Archivist, has some thoughts on Elizabeth and how she

appreciated beauty and about gratefulness and blessings.

Also, Johnny Eriksontana will be talking about her first meeting with Elizabeth,

about him and about suffering.

That's an extended look at those topics coming later today.

Let's quickly go to our gateway to joy broadcast for today.

Our first one, gateway to joy 366.

Give thanks always.

You are loved with an everlasting love.

That's what the Bible says, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

This is your friend, Elizabeth Elliott, talking again today about how to simplify your life.

I've been giving you some principles throughout this week.
