Because thankfulness is important every day of the year, and sometimes most of all in the days after the big day…
I’m thankful for a chilly but sunny 3.75 mile run to start off my Thanksgiving Day.

I’m thankful for so much food we could even eat half of it, and for lots of leftovers that taste even better the next day.

Be blessed

There’s so much to be thankful for! I’m thankful for beautiful sunrises, warm coffee, and quiet time in the Word. And that’s just this morning. 🙂
Gorgeous pictures! And thanks for the reminder to always be thankful. We are so blessed!
Amen! So many things… Yes! <3
This is wonderful! And I agree about pumpkin pie as an appetizer!

Great reminder to be thankful every day not just on THE day. Right now I am thankful that you reminded me that it is time to buy eggnog for my coffee. 🙂
Yes! Go buy it an thoroughly enjoy it! <3
Yummmy pumpkin pie for breakfast! 🙂
I am thankful for the colder weather of this fall and the chilliness of Thanksgiving Day. I live in Alabama and there have been Thanksgiving days in the past where the temps were in the 70s and 80s which is so weird feeling to me. This year it was in the 50s during the day and dropped to just below freezing overnight. 🙂
Alesha, I’m thankful to read your post and to remember all the warm Thanksgiving days in south Florida growing up. I’m thankful for my home in Atlanta where it gets too cold for this Florida girl, seeing the leaves turn pretty colors, and gathering with family and friends! Bless you with great JOY on your amazing journey with Jesus!
Awe! Thank you, Lisa! I hope you enjoy your chilly Thanksgiving in Georgia! <3
Wonderful Thanksgiving list. I was with my church family for Thanksgiving too so I know what you mean about it being sweet and the homesickness a little less. I love FaceTime too.
So sweet to hear from you Tara! Yay for FaceTime and church families. God is good.
