How to make your Thanksgiving more spiritual for you and your family.

So you want to make this Thanksgiving better than ever! That’s great! I love it!

Well, I’m guessing that you wish the holidays would provide a deeper meaning. You want more good...no...GREAT memories. You love God and you want that love to be experienced at your dinner table with your cherished ones.

So how do you make the most out of your Thanksgiving this year?

A thankful heart is an attitude choice; it’s a discipline. It’s something you actively pursue.

It doesn 't just show up on a particular holiday or event; it’s a lifestyle.

Changing your heart takes three things:

1.) Time Understanding that there is a time component is very important in your endeavor. When you get frustrated with your perceived lack of progress you can remember that learning a new heart attribute takes time. Thankfulness is a fruit of God’s. This is a holy virtue. These virtues take time to develop and mature. Give this new fruit time to grow.
2.) Dependence on God With everything that is from God, it is grown through Him. He is the One who is teaching you and guiding you. Lean in on Him. When you forget your way, remember Who it is that walks with you. Keep your eyes fixed on God in this endeavor.
3.) Determination/discipline Being a disciple is not a passive thing, it does take determination, a mental frame work that won’t quit. God calls and we respond. Don’t give up if it gets too hard. Know that you are not doing this in your strength but through God’s mighty power and love. Stay calm and return to practicing being

    Gratitude positively affects one's emotions and actions. Being thankful generally increases positive emotions such as happiness and lessens negative emotions such as vainness. In Romans 1:21, the apostle Paul wrote that those who did not share gratitude towards God became vain and deluded; in other words, ingratitude makes for negative feelings. The act of being grateful builds positive feelings, such as that in Luke 17:11-19, where written is the Samaritan giving thanks to Jesus for curing his leprosy. In short, out of the ten healed leprous men, only the Samaritan had the decency to thank Jesus with utter gratitude for His merciful act.…
