🍂 Preparing Your Heart for Thanksgiving
As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in the busy tasks — cooking, planning, hosting, or traveling. But before all the activity begins, it’s important to pause and prepare our hearts for what this season truly represents: gratitude. Here are a few simple ways to refocus your heart this week: 1. Reflect on the blessings you often overlook. Sometimes the biggest blessings are the ones we’re used to — health, family, a warm home, and moments of peace. 2. Extend grace to yourself and others. The holidays can be stressful. A softened heart makes room for patience, kindness, and understanding. 3. Choose gratitude over comparison. Social media can make us feel like our celebrations should look a certain way. Remember: Thanksgiving is about gratitude, not perfection. 4. Give thanks intentionally. Write down three things you’re thankful for today. It shifts your mindset and brings clarity. 5. Share love generously. A message, a prayer, a small act of kindness — these things create lasting impact. As we enter the season, let’s remember that a thankful heart turns ordinary moments into blessings. 💛 What are you most grateful for this year?
