I’m sitting here looking over my Thanksgiving spreadsheet,menu, shopping list, guest list, table settings, cooking schedule… all the things that make this week both chaotic and beautiful, and I had a thought.
What actually makes a Thanksgiving table extraordinary?
Is it the perfect place setting, the flowers, the candlelight, the dishes cooked to perfection? Those things are lovely, but I think it’s something deeper.
It’s the people we gather with…
the gratitude we carry into the day…
the heart posture behind every dish we prepare and every seat we set.
Are we thankful for the chance to host?
Thankful for the privilege of preparing a meal?
Thankful for the gift of being surrounded by people we love?
I know I am.
And I hope you find a quiet moment this season to pause and truly feel the weight of all there is to be grateful for.
Xoxo,
