We are 14 days away from the celebration of Thanksgiving here in the United States.

One project I would challenge you to do during this time is to become a more thankful person. Would you be willing to spend a few minutes each night at dinner or before bed and list at least five things you are grateful for?

This does not have to be a huge event. Simply say in a prayer, “Thanks God for giving me today …” Then fill in the blank with at least five things. Some days, coming up with five might be challenging, but most days, I bet you can come up with six to ten items.

We spend a great deal of energy getting into the “spirit of Christmas,” perhaps it is equally important to get into the spirit of Thanksgiving.
