🦃 Giving Thanks Before the Feast

Before the cooking, the gathering, and the big meal, there’s a beautiful opportunity to pause and center our hearts on gratitude. Thanksgiving isn’t just about the feast — it’s about recognizing the goodness in our lives, both big and small.

Here are simple ways to give thanks before the celebration begins:

1. Start the day with gratitude.

Take a quiet moment to list a few things you’re thankful for — it sets the tone for the whole day.

2. Express appreciation to loved ones.

A simple “I’m grateful for you” can make someone’s day feel more meaningful.

3. Pray or reflect before the meal.

Acknowledging blessings together brings unity and warmth to the gathering.

4. Notice the small moments.

Laughter, shared stories, and the feeling of being together are gifts worth celebrating.

5. Choose gratitude over stress.

Even if the day isn’t perfect, there’s always something worth giving thanks for.

This Thanksgiving, let’s remember that gratitude is the heart of the holiday — long before the feast begins. 💛
