Hi Achternaam,

I hope you’re ready for Thanksgiving in just a week!   There are many versions of how the holiday we know as Thanksgiving started way back in the day. No matter what you think of the origins and history of Thanksgiving… One thing I know.

Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on the power of gratitude

In this world we live in becoming a person of gratitude takes consistent effort. Let's make this a season for the positives in life.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
