A Grateful Heart: Reflections from CriusCo

January 26, 2025

Reflections

Today, we at CriusCo want to pause and express our heartfelt gratitude for the many blessings we have received. The journey of building a company comes with challenges, but it also comes with countless moments of provision, inspiration, and support that remind us of the bigger picture. As we look around at the work of our hands, the resources at our disposal, and the opportunities that have come our way, we know we have much to be thankful for.

One passage that inspires us to keep this attitude of gratitude is Philippians 4:6-7:

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

These verses encourage us to approach life’s uncertainties not with worry, but with a spirit of thankfulness and trust. This perspective can be transformative for anyone, whether facing personal challenges or business uncertainties. By focusing on what we have—what God has already provided—we find a renewed sense of peace and clarity. It allows us to move forward, not in fear, but in faith.

So as we reflect on our journey, we want to remind ourselves and our community that thankfulness isn’t just a response to good circumstances. It’s a mindset that helps us navigate both the highs and lows of life. And for that, we at CriusCo are truly grateful.

A Message From Our Founder

It cannot be stressed enough how powerful love is. Love is strong, patient, and merciful. There is no foolishness in love; it's foolish not to love. Love one another and love another forever. Be thankful for all you have and be prepared to receive all you have prayed for. If you can love someone now, hold them, cherish them, and be with them forever. Love one another fully without feelings withheld. I know that I'll love my one true love forever, and while she is a vast distance away, I'll use my love for her to use my gifts to make lives better. Just as love is patient, I will wait. It would be foolish not to wait for love, especially love so true and whole. Please love today.
