Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reflect on everything we’re thankful for in our lives, no matter how big or small. It’s a time for family traditions to take center stage. Turkey, stuffing, festive fall colors, pumpkin pie, and football. Being thankful for one another is how Thanksgiving got its start after all. Personally, I yearn for the sweet juicy turkey and all of those delicious side dishes that go along with it. It’s what many folks look forward to all over the world, all year long. The Thanksgiving feast is truly a feast to rival them all. But it goes far beyond stuffing our stomachs, it’s also our basic needs; shelter, family, and friends. Since life is filled with struggles, trials, and tribulations, it’s easy to hold those things as the focus of our thoughts. Word to the wise.
Be thankful that you don’t have everything you desire because that gives you something to look forward to.
Be thankful when you don’t know something because that gives you incentive to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times because they provide opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge because it will build strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes because they teach valuable lessons.
Be thankful for setbacks because without them we can’t move forward.
Be thankful for your troubles because they can become your blessings.
Be thankful because.
Happy Thanksgiving!
