0:00.0	Hey friend, you're listening to Truth Talks with Tara, a podcast dedicated to helping you know, love, and live God's Word.
0:16.8	I'm your host, Tara, and I am so glad that you're here.
0:20.5	Each week, we'll dive into scripture together.
0:22.8	We'll answer questions we all have about the Bible and about how to live for God,
0:26.6	as well as learn from some of my amazing friends and guests.

1:36.1	And the reason why I bring this up is because thankfulness and gratitude can be such a challenge,
1:41.2	not only because of the hard circumstances of our lives and the seasons of struggle,
1:45.5	but also just seeing so much of everyone else's lives that it makes us feel discontent,
1:52.2	dissatisfied, and wanting what other people have. And when we feel that way, it is especially
1:58.1	hard to be truly grateful and thankful for what we have. And you know, friend, I say
