Keeping the “Thanks” in Thanksgiving

 

I really like Thanksgiving for the most part.

I love the food, the gathering, the shopping…all of it.

Here’s the part I tend to miss—the really obvious THANKFUL part.

Whoops!

I get so caught up in the cooking and the visiting and the busy-ness of it all—I completely miss out on the being thankful part.

I’m not sure why that is—I think I focus on making perfect plans, perfect food, perfect table setting, and décor.

Then we eat!

Then we shop!

And then it’s over and I missed the point.

In an effort to do it different and better this year, I’m focusing on one Thanksgiving Bible verse each day as we build up to Thanksgiving day.
