It’s not always easy to be grateful on Thanksgiving.
Maybe you’re spending time with family you don’t care for. Having conversations with people you disagree with. Or desperately missing someone you love.
So, how do you turn around those feelings of frustration, despair or isolation? Can you choose gratitude, even when the circumstances are challenging?
On this episode of The Live Out Loud Show, I challenge you to make Thanksgiving a day of reflection and choose to sit in gratitude rather than judgement.
I explain why Thanksgiving means so much to me personally, sharing my story of going into labor with my first daughter on this holiday 18 years ago.
Listen in for insight on having gratitude for the hard things you’ve endured and learn how to call on Jesus to soften your heart and help you be thankful, regardless of your current circumstances!
