Thanksgiving Everyday

So the other night Chris and I were chatting...our recent chats have been about Thanksgiving. I can't believe it's almost here already! Anyway, this has become my holiday...so of course there's who's coming and who's not, what football games are playing and when, how big the bird should be, should I make a ham as well or put another bird on the grill? There's all these things to do-on and on the lists grow.

This is #2 on my favorite holiday list. But realistically, there is much more than eating a fabulous meal to this holiday. For the Jews, their thanksgiving holiday lasts 3 days...The pilgrims who survived hardship and had next to nothing celebrated for 7 days! Why do we, who have so much to be thankful for, only celebrate once? Shouldn't we celebrate Thanksgiving 365 days a year?

So that is my goal this year, be thankful for something everyday, no matter how small! In this country where there is SO MUCH I think we lose perspective of things. Life should really be about the little things- whispered "I love you's, "I'll help you's" from your eager children with outstretched hands, "I just called to see how you're doing?" from your friends...the list could go on and on.

May everyone be richly blessed this year and have a Very Happy & Truly Thankful Thanksgiving!!!
