Lucy is looking for fresh ideas to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Any thoughts? What do you include in your Thanksgiving celebration?
Lucy has discovered ideas from several sources. One idea was to ask each person who will attend your Thanksgiving meal to bring a picture or object that represents what they are Thankful for--and include a sharing time after the meal. This is a wonderful way to include young children as well.
Another suggestion is to begin a Family Thanksgiving Memorial box.
A place to record the past year special memories or events that were especially significant in the past year. Date them and put them in a box to bring out and review in the coming years.
Make this holiday season an opportunity to minister to those who may be less fortunate. A senior citizen who has no close family, a single parent, a service person away from home all could be candidates for a special invitation.
On the other hand, sometimes it is special for your family simply to be family. Not to feel pressured into inviting extra folks over--if you feel it is
needful to re-connect as a family, then do it with intention!
