thank*ful: (adj) aware and appreciative of a benefit; grateful.
Thankfulness is something that we've been trying to focus on more at home, because some days it seems that our boys just aren't thankful for anything. I suppose, if we were truly honest with ourselves, we all aren't aware or appreciative of so many of the blessings and provisions that surround us each day. But in November, our culture attempts to take a day to step back and reflect on all that we are thankful for. Between now and Christmas, as a family, we are dedicated to trying to maintain thankful hearts during what can be a hectic and stressful few weeks leading up to the celebration of the greatest gift to mankind.
As for Thanksgiving day, we spent it with my extended family at my parents house. We were surrounded by family (one of our greatest blessings) and a feast of delicious food (we can't thank God enough for creating such yummy food). We also enjoyed talking with and playing games with our family (hopefully Bunco will become a new yearly tradition). We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving day wherever you were and hope that you are aware and appreciative of all the benefits and blessings in your life!
