The first Sunday of Thanksgiving – okay November but I want to invite you to consider Thanksgiving beyond a day! To have it become more than a steppingstone to Christmas, a second grand day of consumption! It all begins with mounds of candy of Halloween, then the celebration transition of Thanksgiving and on to the big show of Christmas! I truly become that Christmas becomes a true deep hearted celebration when Thanksgiving – Gratitude – Praise are the foundation stones.

Start today and join the 24 Days to Thanksgiving! Write a sentence to a paragraph for something you are grateful for. Don’t just think about it but take a moment to pen it down. Then find a jar or bowl and begin storing up your Thanksgiving notes to read at the beginning of December. Help your heart to begin feel what your eyes begin to see – things around you to be grateful for, to Praise God about!
