As November approaches, many of us are busy planning and preparing for the big Thanksgiving dinner. Any gathering, big or small, surrounded by love or friendship, brings us closer to God when we fellowship together in the spirit of thankfulness. Although we tend to focus on the food during the Thanksgiving holiday, fellowship in God’s love is always the most remembered and most precious nourishment.
Our homes should be a positive source of life, and we all should try to check our perfectionism at the door. Many cookbooks provide recipes for our meals but consider looking beyond the meal and feed your mind, body and spirit this Thanksgiving.
