Thanksgiving is one of the top holidays in Christianity, not because there is a significant spiritual event that is celebrated that day. But I believe that it is an important day in our own spiritual lives to evaluate our hearts and remember all that the Lord has done for us. Thanksgiving refocuses our hearts on God and the gratitude that we feel for our Savior. Busyness can lead to a hard heart because we don’t take the time to nurture a hard of gratitude. We can fight this attitude by investing time in slowing down to reflect on God’s goodness and meditating on Scripture. During this holiday season, having Thanksgiving verses available for your family to read and memorize will help you to remember our great God and be thankful each day leading up to this special celebration.
The Biblically Minded Family can help you with this! Download these verses below and print them out. Keep them on your table so you can read one or more together as a family before each meal. This will redirect your heart to the Lord this season. In the busyness of October through December, we need to slow down and remember. We often lose sight of Him and His goodness because busyness has crowded out time to be thoughtful.

As Biblically Minded Families, it is important that we use this season to draw our families to the Lord. While busyness creeps in with many good things to do this time of the year, we must force ourselves to slow down and reflect on the goodness of God. Lead your family spiritually this season by modeling a heart of gratitude that comes through intentionally remembering the Lord.
