Thanksgiving is so much more than just turkey, football, and pumpkin pie (though those are awesome too!). For Christians, it’s a daily vibe, a chance to reflect on God’s goodness and live with a heart full of gratitude.
- Gratitude in Every Season
1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” I know, that’s not always easy, especially when life throws curveballs. But one of the best things about gratitude is that it doesn’t depend on what’s happening around us. We thank God for who He is and how He’s working, even when things get tough. We can choose to live with joy and gratitude. - Counting Blessings
It’s easy to miss the little blessings in life. This Thanksgiving, try to slow down and notice them—like a cozy cup of coffee, a friend’s kind words, or a beautiful sunset. Spend a few minutes at the table and ask your family to share how they feel blessed. When we take a moment to count our blessings, we see God’s handiwork everywhere! - Giving Back
Real thanksgiving makes us want to give back. When we realize how richly God has blessed us, it feels natural to share that love. Look for ways to pass on your blessings—maybe serve a meal, donate to a cause, or just brighten someone’s day with kind words.
This Thanksgiving, let’s turn gratitude into a lifestyle, not just a holiday tradition!
With Joy,
