A week from today we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving.  It’s one of my favorite holidays!

Though we’re not officially on holiday break, or cooking the turkey quite yet… I like to look ahead and anticipate Thanksgiving.  With a little extra planning on my part, the gathering of family that day can be everything I hope for.

Take a moment with me and think about what you want the holiday to look like in your home.  Prepare a few well- phrased “thank you’s.”  Figure out a creative way to show how much you love each of your children and grandchildren.  Determine not to be shy about showing affection and value for others.

Then, start praying for God’s hand on your time as a family this holiday.
