It’s that time of the year when we celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends! Thanksgiving is an awesome time to show thanks to loved ones and most especially to Christ. We all have so much to be thankful for, even when it does not seem like anything is going the way we expected. Maybe you are in a season of your life where you are wondering what is going on or why things seem stagnant. Continue to trust God and he will walk you through it.
This year has gone by super fast but at the same time a very busy one. I have so much to be thankful for but majorly for the gift of life for myself, my family and friends. Also for the privilege to walk in the presence of God, recently i have just been focused on God revealing himself to me and showing me his plans for my life. I took a random break from social media to focus in on what he is showing me. This Thanksgiving is also a great time to consider ways to share the love of God with others, no matter how little it may be. Below are some great ways to do this:
Share the Joy of Thanksgiving
- Run errands for someone, it could be a friend or neighbor or anyone
- Help someone babysit while they take a few hours to themselves
- Have a food drive and give meals to the poor
- Share baked goods to your neighbors
- Go grocery shopping for someone
- Do a book drive
- Pay for someone’s meal when you go out to eat
- Compliment someone
- Check up on a few friends to see how they are doing
- Buy winter outfits for the poor and hand them out
- Let your pastor know how much you appreciate them
- Cook a special meal for your spouse and children
- Give movie tickets to someone
- Volunteer for an unpleasant task
- Be present for someone
- Write handwritten notes of thanks
