It’s Thanksgiving time

Oh, Thanksgiving! The time we all come together as one to give thanks and show gratitude for everything we experienced and shared throughout the year. This year has honestly gone pretty fast, don’t you think? We’ve been through victories and failures, but all that matters is we are still here living and breathing. We have a purpose to fulfill and Thanksgiving reminds us of that. There are times we feel like we have been knocked down and have just given up, but I love the way that through it all, I’m still waking up every morning experiencing another day of life. Oh Thanksgiving, the time that reveals to us what life is really all about. It doesn’t matter the things that we have lost in life, but our loved ones and that we get to live another day.

All of our thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ. With all of what we have done, he still shows us mercy and grace and that’s what it’s all about; showing gratitude to Him, so that we can effortlessly show gratitude to all. Sometimes we don’t show enough gratitude to those who really helped us and gave us opportunities to move forward and experience life the way we need to, but it’s never too late to let them know. No matter how great or small the situation is, saying thank you means a lot to someone and that will always be important. Even though Thanksgiving Day comes once a year, the meaning of Thanksgiving should be expressed every day. The care, gratitude, selflessness, love, and grace should be displayed. That makes us all better as one.

What do you think Thanksgiving is all about? Everyone should self-reflect and take a moment to understand what Thanksgiving is, discuss it, and make sure that we do better and show gratitude as much as we can in our lives. It’s also a good time to set goals for the remaining two months we have left in the year and finish off the year with a bang! Expressing gratitude, enjoying life, and being happy is what I want for each and every person reading this.

Who’s ready for the food? Who’s ready to be stuffed? I know I am! The big baked juicy turkey and ham, with the macaroni and cheese, potato salad, greens, yams, and the list goes on and on! Especially the desserts! Those famous pies and cakes that are made during this time. My favorite is apple pie! What are your favorites? Favorite pies? Favorite sweets? I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving! Make your Thanksgiving a memorable one and enjoy it to the fullest!
