Thankful at Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner!  Have you started to think about special ways you will celebrate?  I would love to share some of my family's favorite traditions with you!

Often at family Thanksgiving dinners we put a Thanksgiving related Bible verse at everyone's place at the table or on the back of their place card.  Before serving dessert, we have each person read their verse and say one thing that they are thankful for this year.

One verse, for example, is 1 Chronicles 16:6-9, 12; Give thanks to Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.  Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.  Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, the judgements he pronounced.

Other verses include 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Psalm 77:11-14, Psalm 92:1-5, Psalm 95:1-5, Psalm 75:1, Psalm 106:1, Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 3:16-17.

Give this a try around your table this year and I think you will feel thankful you did!
