God wants to use your gratitude to transform your Thanksgiving gatherings this year, turning potential family drama into meaningful connection through the power of genuine appreciation and blessing.
• The art of gratitude isn't just saying "thank you" but reflecting God's goodness and grace through how we live
• Gratitude becomes contagious when we focus on blessing others rather than expecting to be blessed
• Like paint on canvas that only reveals its color when light hits it, our lives reflect God's goodness when we're grateful
• Learning to forgive difficult family members before gatherings creates space for genuine gratitude
• A powerful Thanksgiving tradition: have each person at the table share what they love about someone else
• The most grateful people are often those who have experienced brokenness and found God's restoration
• We can do more good by being a light for Jesus than through political arguments or criticism
• Genuine blessing catches people off guard and can completely change relationships
This Thanksgiving, prepare your heart by praying for those you'll gather with. Ask God to show you something you genuinely admire in each person that you can publicly acknowledge and celebrate.
