Happy Thanksgiving!

For many, Thanksgiving has become more the start of Christmas shopping than a day of remembrance and thankfulness. I confess that I start thinking about putting up the tree and buying presents before Thanksgiving. However I am committed to celebrating Thanksgiving first, focusing on the original intent of this special day.

Tomorrow, I will recount the ways that God has blessed me and my family this year. How He has brought us through hard places and continues to guide us in the midst of a challenging time. I will celebrate the bounty he has blessed my husband and me with in the persons of children and grandchildren. Though our table won't be surrounded by some who were with us last year, we still have much to be thankful for.

I pray that as you remember God's faithfulness, your heart will be filled to overflowing with gratitude. May our hearts be fertile soil for God to cultivate an 'attitude of gratitude', not just for tomorrow but for each and every day to come.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hugs,
Molly
