Thanksgiving Thoughts

-

 


Thanksgiving is a time for food, celebration, and fun. Every year on Thanksgiving, families gather around the table to enjoy a meal and give thanks.

But for some folks, Thanksgiving can be a lonely time. Many adults spend the holidays feeling isolated and depressed.

As we celebrate this Thanksgiving, it is important to be thankful for all the things in your life, no matter how big or small. Even in our deepest sorrow, we can find things to be thankful for.

For those who may be feeling depressed this Thanksgiving holiday, open your heart to giving. Helping others in need is a wonderful way to celebrate the day and will make you feel less alone. Reach out to soup kitchens, shelters, hospitals, or your local church.

Life is full of unexpected changes. Whatever you do, don't cover up your feelings of depression and isolation. Own up to those feelings and know that you're not alone. Somewhere, someone is feeling the same way that you are.

Be thankful that you have the strength to meet the challenges that come with life. Be thankful for each memory that family and friends have given you. Be thankful for having a profound understanding that it is more important to give than to receive. This Thanksgiving, you have much to be thankful for.

Be thankful for what you have to give, not just for what you have received.


Happy Thanksgiving.

  Christmas is one of the most cherished and celebrated times of the year. One of the best ways to make the most of the holidays is to use Christmas decorations. There is nothing more special than entering a house filled with beautiful Christmas decorations or seeing a family Christmas tree filled with homemade ornaments reflecting the love of the family and the values of the season. Christmas decorations can transform even the most bland house into a warm and life-filled house. Spending a Saturday putting up Christmas decorations can be a great way for a family to spend time together and build lasting family traditions at the same time. Children will learn to enjoy the work that goes into making their home beautiful during the holidays while learning the importance of Christmas, the different things that your Christmas decorations symbolize for your family, and important faith and life lessons. Consider ways that you and your family can celebrate by making new traditions or revivi...

  If you care at all about infusing your home or your Thanksgiving gathering with the spirit of the holiday, Thanksgiving decorations are a must. Thanksgiving decorations are fun for not only you and your family, but also for your neighbors and friends. Themes for  Thanksgiving includes turkeys, pilgrims, fall foliage, pumpkins, and harvest items. In general, the colors are the natural fall foliage colors of oranges, browns, yellows, and black. You can have decorations for the table (placemats, coasters, etc.) and the walls of your house (pictures, tapestries, etc.). Windows and doors are especially nice places to display Thanksgiving decorations because they lend a warm and welcoming atmosphere to your home that's quite fitting for the season. Since Thanksgiving decorations can sometimes be hard to find, keep in mind the holiday's color scheme of oranges, yellows, tans, and the like. This way, if you find items that aren't Thanksgiving decorations per se, they can still ad...

An Attitude of Gratitude

  Thanksgiving. The time to feel gratitude for everything that we have. And while, at this time of the year, we like to share the things that make us grateful, any time of the year is a good time to practice an attitude of gratitude. So many times, people become discontent with their lives. Is it any wonder? There are industries set up to make us feel inadequate. We are not thin enough, rich enough, or hip enough. The message rings loud and clear: 'We are not good enough!!!' How many times have you said to yourself, "If only ________, then I could be happy? The problem is that if you get caught up in this way of thinking, you will never be happy. There is always something more we will think we need to complete our lives. If you were to change your thinking, you would realize how truly rich you are. You have a roof over your head and food on the table. Okay, so it's not your dream house, and you are eating peanut butter sandwiches and not caviar, but you are sheltered a...
