Thanksgiving

This week is Thanksgiving so hopefully, this post will assist in getting people to think about this holiday differently. Thanksgiving is an American holiday so no one else in the world celebrates it. That could imply that this holiday assists Americans in remembering to be thankful for what they have.

What would happen if we started acting like every day was Thanksgiving? We would be more grateful, nicer, share more meals, laugh with one another more, and show our appreciation for one another. Imagine that! A place in which everyone or most people were thankful for what they had and looked for ways to help others have a nice meal to eat or a warm place to sleep.

We should try to wake up every morning before getting out of bed and name five things we are grateful for; I will suggest the first reason to be thankful: waking up. How about when we say thank you, we let the person know what we are thankful for? Such as, thank you for helping me with the dishes. Often, we say thank you without any thought, it is just automatic. We may sometimes say grace before we eat but what about saying thank you for something other than food! God has given us so much more. It is time to break the mundane chain of only celebrating or acting as if Thanksgiving takes place one day out of the year, THANKSGIVING should be celebrated every day and all time. It is important we smile, be grateful, and most importantly not forget to give God thanks for all he has done, is doing and will do. Make sure to say thank you to a friend, colleague, family member, or pet and tell them why they deserve a thank you! 😊
