“Thanksgiving is more than eating, Chuck. Those early Pilgrims were thankful for what had happened to them, and we should be thankful, too. We should just be thankful for being together. I think that’s what they mean by ‘Thanksgiving,’ Charlie Brown.” – Marcie
A lot can change in 3 years, but there are always things to be grateful for. Last week we shared our original 50 Things We’re Grateful For list from a few years ago, and this week we each wanted to share 10 things we’re thankful for right at this moment. It was a great way to explore how the blessings in our life have changed and grown. I always find it eye opening to sit down and realize the wonderful things we have in our life. I encourage you to take a few minutes after reading and share your own list of the things you are thankful for at this moment in the comments below!
