Thursday Thoughts The Power of Gratitude: How to Cultivate Thankfulness All Year Round Be forewarned! This Thursday Thoughts is longer than usual. Stay with it. It can have a huge impact on your peace, joy, and happiness. Thanksgiving is a time that many of us turn our attention to being grateful. Reigniting gratitude has become as much of a ritual as Thanksgiving itself, yet it is something that we should be displaying all year. Due to the history of Thanksgiving, current world events, and your personal experiences, you may find it difficult to be grateful. However, setting aside these circumstances, we can use Thanksgiving as a steppingstone to display gratitude daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. https://lnkd.in/gAa72QcS #gratitude #thanksgiving #love #bepositive #livelovelaugh #helpingyoumoveforward

“We don’t have Thanksgiving Day, we’re thankful every day.” My wife is from Jordan. The first thanksgiving after we met, I asked her if she had any similar traditions back home. And this is what she said. It always makes me smile, because she does have a heart of gratitude every day. And it makes me think of 1 Thessalonians 5:18: "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." It’s a reminder that gratitude isn’t just for a special occasion; it's a daily practice. Imagine the impact of carrying this spirit of thankfulness beyond just the holiday season. How might it change your daily interactions, your workplace environment, and your approach to life's challenges? This Thanksgiving, while enjoying the traditions and the company of loved ones, let's also think about how we can cultivate a habit of gratitude every day. It's about appreciating the big and small moments alike and learning from the diverse perspectives around us. Wishing everyone a meaningful Thanksgiving, with the hope of bringing the essence of this day into our everyday lives. #ThanksgivingReflections #DailyGratitude #CulturalInsights #ProfessionalGrowth

Having these conversations may not be easy, but they are a gift of love and responsibility that lasts a lifetime. 💖 Let's use this Thanksgiving as a chance to strengthen our family bonds and show how much we care about each other's well-being.

Grateful for a heartwarming Thanksgiving spent with loved ones. 🍁 Reflecting on the profound words of David Whyte about gratitude: “Gratitude is not a passive response to something we have been given, gratitude arises from paying attention, from being awake in the presence of everything that lives within and without and beside us. Gratitude is not necessarily something that is shown after the event, it is the deep, a-priori state of attention that shows we understand and are equal to the gifted nature of life. Gratitude is the understanding that many millions of things must come together and live together and mesh together and breathe together in order for us to take even one more breath of air, that the underlying gift of life and incarnation as a living, participating human being is a privilege; that we are miraculously, part of something, rather than nothing. Even if that something is temporarily pain or despair, we inhabit a living world, with real faces, real voices, laughter, the color blue, the green of the fields, the freshness of a cold wind, or the tawny hue of a winter landscape…. Thankfulness finds its full measure in generosity of presence, both through participation and witness. We sit at the table as part of every other person’s world while making our own world without will or effort, this is what is extraordinary and gifted, this is the essence of gratefulness, seeing to the heart of privilege. Thanksgiving happens when our sense of presence meets all other presences. Being unappreciative might mean we are simply not paying attention.” by David Whyte (From Whyte’s Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words) #Gratitude #ThanksgivingReflections #DavidWhyte #Presence #Generosity 🙏🏼
