With thankful hearts and helpful hands, families, friends and neighbors gather together on this one day of the year to express gratitude to Him who gives us everything and to each other. The day is spent in all corners in the United States with everyones special traditions and tiny touches that make it Thanksgiving for them.
For me it’s the mashed potatoes, the yams covered in marshmallows, and the pumpkin pies we always have. It’s the family clustered around in the kitchen, the turkey song that has rung in my ears every November since I could talk, and the Christmas music that is always playing as we cook. It’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Thanksgiving turkey craft we do that the kids so adore, and the way we all seem to notice, even better, the blessings that surround us. It’s the air that catches us as we embrace, it’s the tendar words of thanks we go around the room saying and most of all it’s the love that we feel for one another as we truly take the time to share it.
So as this season blesses us once again, may we open our hearts to the beautiful moments that don’t come everyday and truly thank those we love for the countless miracles they create for us as we walk through each experience of this life.
What are you most thankful for and how will you express it this year?
