"Ever good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17
November is the month of Thanksgiving. When we think of November, we immediately think of turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, pies, etc.: but today, I want us to take the month of Thanksgiving to another level. I want us to think of the month of November as not only the month of Thanksgiving and food but also the month that we reflect on being thankful for those things that God has blessed us with, one thing being our spouse. How many times have people walked up to you and asked you so what is it about your spouse that you are most thankful for? Sometimes it may take a bit to respond or you use some off-the-wall answer. Let's be honest, if you are catching them after an intense moment of fellowship it can be quite difficult. You don't seem so quick to focus on their great qualities at that specific moment. I want to challenge you over the next few months to take some time and write down five things that you are most thankful for in your spouse and then take that challenge on step further. I want you on Thanksgiving morning to have a card with those 5 things listed and give it to them as they are preparing the big feast or as you gather around the dinner table. It's like Christmas in November! You may think this challenge is childish, but I believe it will be an eye opener for some couples that have forgotten how to be thankful for each other. You may never know just how far a word of gratitude and thanks will go, especially when food is involved. My husband and I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!
