A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

I remember recently seeing part of the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and when they prayed over their food it made my heart happy.  Not because simply the prayer but knowing- these are suppose to be kids and they are praying like little adults, all gathered round. Why can't it be that simple anymore?

Why can't things be simple and pure and real like the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Christmas. Such a great little show. Growing up I must say it was not my favorite. I liked some of the other shows, Rudolph and anything magical and mysterious, but to me the Charlie Brown series was about some kids that did not appeal to me, but Oh how it does now. I questioned is it the memories that it brings back, the nostalgia or is it because of the pure, wholesome show that it is? I am not sure, but I just love it now. I can see clips online or on social media and it just warms my heart to a simpler time.


I want to challenge you to be Thankful. Gratitude will change your attitude !

Have a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, you know you might not have the best spread, or even the best table, didn't they throw everything out on a ping pong table(don't sweat the small stuff) and enjoy the day!! Ask God to give you a content, thankful, merry heart.

A Thankful heart is a merry heart.

I want to Challenge you this Thanksgiving if your heart is not merry and you live in an oppressed discontent way, go and bless someone else.  Whether it be with food, or time or even money- pay it forward this year, and see your heart difference.

If you have to work, celebrate it another day. Have a day of Thanksgiving and rest !

Often we go through this life, working, going along in our own world, busy, busy, busy, but there are these holidays during the year, where we may get to stop, take a deep breath and enjoy life. I cherish this and I so cherish Thanksgiving. I used to love it more when I was younger, it was my favorite holiday because all my family got together and it was just a day of Thanksgiving, rest and fellowship.

I still love it now for some of those same reasons... oh and food, I forgot to mention the amazing food!

We are blessed and live in a blessed Country !! Don't take anything for granted, Be Thankful, Be Blessed !!
