Oh, Thanksgiving! The time we all come together as one to give thanks and show gratitude for everything we have experienced and shared throughout the year. This year has been full of twists and turns, many ups and downs. 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’ve been knocked down and have given up, but I love that through it all I am still waking up every morning experiencing another day of life. Oh, Thanksgiving —- the time that reveals what life is really about. It doesn’t matter about the things we have lost in life, but what truly matters is our loved ones and that we get to live another day.
All of our thanks are to be given to our Lord, Jesus Christ. With all of what we have done, he still shows us mercy and grace. Showing gratitude to Him so 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 those know that we are appreciative of their help and selfless actions. Gratitude, everyone! It’s a great feeling regardless of how great or small a situation is, saying thank you means a lot to someone. Even though Thanksgiving comes once a year, the meaning of the holiday should be expressed every day. Care, gratitude, selflessness, love and grace should be displayed all the time.
What do you think Thanksgiving is all about? Everyone should self reflect and take a moment to understand what Thanksgiving is and share it, discuss it and make sure 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 it off with a bang! Expressing gratitude, enjoying life and being happy is what I want for each and every one reading.
Who’s ready for the food? Who’s ready to be stuffed? I know I am! The big, baked, juicy turkey and ham, with macaroni and cheese, potato salad, greens, yams, and the list goes on and on! Especially the deserts! My favorite is apple pie. What is your favorite? I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving.
