How can gratitude transform your perspective—even in the hardest times?

In this Thanksgiving message, Jim Revelle, a chaplain serving Nussbaum Transportation through Corporate Chaplains of America, shares powerful stories of faith, resilience, and thankfulness.

Jim begins with a personal account of his father’s World War II experience—being rescued from a sinking ship after a kamikaze attack—and draws parallels to spiritual rescue and salvation. He also discusses his own practice of keeping a gratitude journal, filled with hundreds of daily entries throughout the year.

The centerpiece of his message is the inspiring story of Betsy and Corrie Ten Boom, Dutch sisters imprisoned in Ravensbrück concentration camp for hiding Jews during WWII. Despite horrific conditions, including flea infestations in their barracks, the sisters chose to give thanks for everything—even the fleas. That gratitude ultimately protected their secret Bible study meetings from guard interference.

Jim encourages listeners to find gratitude even in difficult circumstances, reminding us that God can work through challenges for greater purposes. He concludes with a heartfelt prayer for the Nussbaum community, emphasizing divine mercy, grace, and care for each individual.
