THANKSGIVING


This thursday is a day of thanks. But do we all really know what it means to be thankful? I know that sounds like a silly question to ask but some people believe it or not do not know the true meaning of this word. We also seem to forget what the thanksgiving holiday really is about and why we all gather as families and enjoy a thanksgiving meal together. Thanksgiving marks the remembrance of the pilgrims who crossed the ocean from Europe to make a new start. It is also the day we give thanks to our god for his blessings and mercies towards us throughout the year. I am thankful for all the great things that have come my way this year such as my wedding, husband, marriage, new friends, job, family, and home. Sometimes a quick thought about someone other than ourselves is all it takes to remind us to be thankful for what we have and who we are. So what are you thankful for this year?
