Thanksgiving has become almost a forgotten holiday. Halloween is hardly over when the Christmas decorations go up and ads appear. This year the day after Thanksgiving begins on Thanksgiving, with many stores open that evening to snag Christmas shoppers with early “black Friday” sales. Perhaps your Thanksgiving is getting lost in this holiday frenzy. It doesn’t have to.

Being thankful is a habit that can be cultivated. Look up. See the glory of the skies, and give thanks. Look around. Notice the people who are important in your life, and give thanks. Look within. Take stock of God’s grace given to you, and give thanks. Count your many blessings. Your heart will grow in gratitude, and every day will be Thanksgiving.
