Thankful Month
As the country prepares for Thanksgiving Day, most settle around a dinner table, eat too much, watch a football game, and fall asleep. I think there is more to it than this, or it should be.
I get the whole idea of having a meal because it gathers family and friends together. But do we really need the meal to do this?
Why does it have to be one day out of the year to be thankful?
Expressing gratitude should be a daily practice, not just a one-day event. It's easy to say we're thankful every day, but do our actions reflect this? After the Thanksgiving weekend, we often slip back into our work routine, errands, and other daily activities. Are we truly living a life of gratitude each day?
There are a lot of questions we should ask ourselves every day. We are only here for a short time, and the significant people in our lives should not be acknowledged as a one-day-out-of-the-year event centered around a turkey. It should be every day.
Tell all those who are part of your life how much you love them and value their friendship. Be especially thankful that they are in your life.
