A Scripture-Filled Thanksgiving Holiday

After the busyness of the summer and settling into a new school year, Thanksgiving is a reminder to pause and reset. Beyond being a time for gathering, good food, and elastic waistbands, Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to focus on gratitude.  

Consider how your family can integrate Scripture into your holiday gathering. Start with a special prayer of gratitude before the big meal. While the family is in a reflective mindset, pass around a jar with pre-written Bible verses that speak to Thanksgiving. Have everyone read a verse aloud and share what they are most thankful for this year. 

One of my favorite verses is from 1 Chronicles 16:34 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” 

End your meal with full tummies and renewed hearts!
