Shopping
carts filled with a turkey, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese and other
delights, navigate the grocery store aisles. Christmas tunes blast through
speakers. Folks are preparing for their Thanksgiving feast.
At home the
table is set for guests – Uncle Joe, Grandma Cookie, Cousin Ann and a coral of
kids. All are ready for family stories, fun, and fellowship. It’s a time for
giving thanks. What are your Thanksgiving traditions and what are you thankful
for?
Today I give
thanks for family and the memories we create. When my sons were young, we’d
visit my mom, watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade, then watch my grandfather fall
asleep, sitting on the couch after dinner.
Thanksgiving
Day has traditionally been the start of mom and me watching Holiday movies. We
began with the movie Imitation of Life,
moved on to Miracle on 34th
Street, and then watched a series of others. My favorites today include
anything on the Hallmark Channel.
There are so
many things to be thankful that the list can go on and on. As you prepare for
Thanksgiving this year, be sure to give thanks for things large and small. Is
there something that you can do to spread Thanksgiving joy to someone else?
