I am usually pretty busy on Thanksgiving morning – getting the big meal ready and doing some housecleaning before the guests arrive for dinner (thank God for football afterwards). However, I always take a few moments in-between to think about the p...

We see preludes of Thanksgiving when the harvest comes in, when the fall colors brighten the store fronts, and when pumpkin spice returns to the menus. It’s all a foretaste that prepares our hearts for gratitude, but again, only if we take the time to appre...
