🦃 Thanksgiving Reflections: More Than Just a Holiday 🦃 Thanksgiving isn’t just about turkey, pumpkin pie, or football (though I’ll take seconds on all of those!). It’s about pausing—really pausing—to appreciate the people, moments, and lessons that shape our lives.

In today’s fast-paced world, gratitude can feel like an afterthought. So, why wait for a holiday? 💡 Something you all can try: Take 5 minutes today to send a message, make a call, or write a note to someone who made a difference in your life this year.

It’s one thing to be grateful. It’s another thing to give thanks. Gratitude is what you feel. Thanksgiving is what you do. - Tim Keller This highlights a powerful distinction between internal emotions and external actions. Gratitude is an internal state of recognition a feeling of thankfulness for the good in our lives. It’s reflective and personal. Thanksgiving is the outward expression of that gratitude. It’s what we do to demonstrate our appreciation, whether through words, actions, or gestures. Gratitude is important but it is incomplete without action. To truly honor the blessings we receive, we must not only feel thankful but also express it in tangible ways. Thanksgiving serves as an annual reminder to live out our gratitude, reinforcing that true thankfulness is demonstrated through meaningful action whether by strengthening relationships or serving others. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 everyone.

A Thanksgiving Reflection As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us pause and reflect on the countless blessings that surround us. This day reminds us not only of the harvest of food but also of the harvest of love, kindness, and connection that enrich our lives. Gratitude is a powerful force, one that can transform challenges into lessons, strangers into friends, and simple moments into cherished memories. Today, let’s celebrate the beauty of coming together - family, friends, and communities - sharing stories, laughter, and a meal that nourishes both body and soul. Let’s also take a moment to extend our gratitude beyond the table: 1. To those who support us in ways big and small. 2. To the hands that prepared our feast and the hearts that welcome us. 3. To the earth that provides and the opportunities that keep us growing. Thanksgiving isn’t just a day; it’s a reminder to live with gratitude every day. So, as we enjoy this moment, let us pledge to carry forward this spirit of appreciation, kindness, and generosity into the days ahead.

In a few days, loved ones of all ages will gather to be grateful! As you prepare for your Thanksgiving celebration, consider these ideas to get the different generations in your family connecting: 1. Merge the kids’ and adults’ tables. Don’t segment seating by age, instead mix generations and see what happens. Whether a grandparent shares a pearl of wisdom or a teen captures the meal on SnapChat, everyone can learn from each other! 2. Ask questions and share stories. Research shows that stories sync the brains of the storyteller and the listener. What a great way to transfer knowledge, wisdom, and legacy with those you love! Here are some conversation sparkers: · What was Thanksgiving like when you were growing up? · What is your favorite holiday memory or tradition? · Who or what are you thankful for in your life now? · Here is a special story about our family… · The quality I most appreciate about you is… 3. Do an activity together. Whether taking a walk, playing a game, or cooking together- sharing experiences creates connections and memories that can last a lifetime. Let us know if you try these tips, and what you notice about the experience! Our hope is that this Thanksgiving you and yours will gain perspective of the past and the present… and strengthen generational connections for years to come. Happy Thanksgiving! J + Dr. K
