It's The Season of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. I love everything about it; from the history to the pumpkin pies. Thanksgiving is a reminder of new beginnings. The Pilgrims settling at Plymouth Rock represents them finding a new way of life where they could freely practice their faith. When they celebrated with a feast they were celebrating the new life they had found.

Also, November is generally a relaxed time of year. It is before the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping and festivities. It's still fall. We wear boots and scarves and take lots of pictures. There is plenty of time for baking, game playing, and football watching. Thanksgiving is just purely enjoyable.

Because Thanksgiving is to be celebrated with thankfulness I am going to post one thing I am thankful for each day up until Thanksgiving. Thankfulness is a good habit to form all year round. God says in His Word multiple times to be thankful always.

Around this time of year I am just extra thankful :)

Try making a list of the things you are thankful for... maybe share them with your family, your friends, or the people you work with. When you focus on what you have to be thankful for your perspective on life is more positive and can positively influence those around you. There is always something we can be thankful for even if that something is as simple as the air that we breathe.
