As we gather around tables and reflect on what we're thankful for, Thanksgiving offers us a beautiful reminder of gratitude. But what if we carried that same spirit into the Advent season? In this episode of Raising Godly Girls, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa invite us to extend the spirit of Thanksgiving beyond the holiday, exploring how gratitude can shape the Advent season for our families. They discuss the importance of keeping thankfulness alive, from creating "gratitude trees" to sharing meaningful Advent traditions like the Jesse Tree.

Hear from Patti Garibay, AHG's Founder & Executive Director, as she shares wisdom on how families can observe Advent as a time of anticipation and prayerful waiting for the coming of Christ. With the hustle of holiday decorating and festivities on the horizon, Patti reminds us that the Advent season holds unique opportunities to deepen our family's faith, with daily acts of gratitude and joyful service that honor Jesus as the Light of the World.

Through fun conversation starters, ideas for acts of service, and meaningful resources like the Jesse Tree tradition, this episode provides families with inspiration to keep gratitude at the center of Advent. Whether it's lighting an Advent candle or sharing the story of Jesus with loved ones, let this season be a time of faith-filled anticipation and thanksgiving that fills your home with the hope and joy of Christ's coming.
