I’m Celebrating Thanksgiving BEFORE Christmas

I was blessed to visit my parents (who live in another state) this weekend – I’m super-grateful for the great time of fellowship we had with lots of laughs! I was really surprised that several homes already displayed full Christmas decorations.😯 What really got my attention was hearing “The Little Drummer Boy”🥁🎵 piped through one of the Rest Areas. I was like, “Did I miss the memo about being late for Christmas?🎄 Gee whiz, I thought I was early in my Thanksgiving preparations, but am I already behind?!”😳

Don’t get me wrong…I am 150% a Christmas fan – I LOVE to celebrate the miracle of the birth of Christ EVERY DAY🎉 (and my daughter’s been able to pull me into watching Christmas movies at any time of the year LOL).🎁

Yet, I’m being VERY intentional to make SURE I give thanks (and not just one one day!) for ALL the marvelous things God has done in MY life over the past year. Truthfully, I am incorporating an “attitude of gratitude” into my daily reflections and meditations, and finding an exponential improvement in my quality of life with this adjustment!🙌🏽 I invite you to join me in celebrating the season of Thanksgiving BEFORE we get swept away by the festivities of Christmas (as it’s been hyper-commercialized). I’d love to hear how YOU are celebrating this season of Thanksgiving…drop me a comment!😇

Praying we focus on the reason for EVERY season…🙏🏼

Abundant blessings, Kayren💓

“7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.”

(Psalm 26:7-8)

“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.”

(Psalm 69:30)
