It’s that time of year again! Thanksgiving is upon us, and we’re as excited as you are. We know we have readers from around the world and not all of you celebrate Thanksgiving in November. More than anything, this holiday has become a time for us to reflect on what God has done in and for us throughout the year and to gather with family and friends to celebrate. Whether you formally celebrate Thanksgiving as a holiday or not, we think this is a great practice year-round!
In the U.S. we celebrate toward the end of November, so we’re turning our thoughts toward gratitude and gathering. To get ready, we thought we’d put together a “cornucopia” of sorts from Thanksgivings past. Each year, we create fun printables and share recipes and reflect on what it means to be thankful right here on our blog. We thought it would be fun to gather some of those articles and freebies and bring them to your attention again this year.
We’re so thankful for you! Enjoy!
