I want to begin by wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! In America, we observe Thanksgiving this week, but I hope each of you has a special day for gratitude and celebration.
Thanksgiving is celebrated on fourth Thursday of November in the United States and in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of October. It became a federal holiday in 1941 in United States.The First Thanksgiving was given to express gratitude to god for saving the pilgrims from harsh winter.
While we get ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States on Thursday, Nov. 25, it's easy to focus mainly on the turkey dinner and the football games. But this holiday always brings us back to what's important in our lives: the love of family and friends, being alive, the beautiful world around us, the happiness we have found in the work we do and the pleasure we take in the arts, music and the books we read.
Whether or not it's an official holiday where you live, set aside time for appreciation and gratitude.
Sometimes it's tempting to focus on the things we don't have, and forget how blessed we truly are. Gratitude and appreciation are good things. In the midst of our American traditions of fun, food, football and family, take time to be thankful!
Many families have a family prayer. The family prayer includes blessings from the past year, family members serving in the military, members that are absent for various reasons, good health and prosperity.
