Episode Notes:

On this special Thanksgiving edition of Morning Light, Pastor Mike Franklin invites us to pause, reflect, and embrace a heart overflowing with gratitude.

Drawing from 2 Samuel 6:21–22, Mike explores the powerful image of King David laying aside his royal identity and celebrating before the Lord with humility and joy. This episode reminds us that true worship isn’t about appearances, status, or dignity—it’s about recognizing God’s presence, goodness, and faithfulness in our lives.

Through Scripture, reflection, and timeless wisdom, Mike challenges listeners to cultivate an attitude of gratitude, to worship freely, and to remember all that God has delivered us from. Thanksgiving, he reminds us, is more than a holiday—it’s a posture of the heart.

Whether you’re celebrating with family or walking through a difficult season, this message offers encouragement, perspective, and a gentle call to worship God with thankful hearts.

Morning Light airs Monday through Friday from 5:30–6:00 AM on My Country 99.3 WCON, and is available anytime as a podcast.
