When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of my dad cooking a turkey and my mom making sure the appetizers are just right. I think of my grandma’s apple pie and my great aunt’s potatoes. I think of making whipped cream with my dad and serving dessert. I think of watching football on the couch after eating a huge meal. One thing we do not think of enough is how grateful and thankful we should be.
We sometimes forget the most important part of this holiday.
This Thanksgiving is going to be a very different one. Many of us cannot travel to be with those we love and are spending Thanksgiving alone. However, through being alone for so many months we have come to realize all we have to be thankful for in our lives.
God has blessed us with so much...
God has blessed us with so much and we tend to forget to thank him for everything he has given us. However, thanking God one day out the year is not enough. We need to thank God every day because he has blessed us so much.
As Catholics, it is our duty to serve God and show him how thankful and blessed we are. One day out of the year is not going to do that and neither is one Sunday a week.
Thanksgiving is a time to reset and realize what we need to do to be truly thankful. This Thanksgiving we have so much to be thankful for, and we should strive to show God that we are thankful for everything.
...we should continue to thank Him every day
Not only should we thank God this Thanksgiving, but we should continue to thank him every day.
