Thanksgiving Day Ideas for Giving Thanks

This Thanksgiving Holiday be sure to give thanks for all you have and take time to remember those who are without! Here are some creative ways you can give thanks this Thanksgiving Holiday season:

1) Create a family poem or prayer you write together as a family each year for what your family is thankful for that year.

2) During dinner ask each member of the family to share their best/or favorite memory of being together or their favorite Thanksgiving memory.

3) Be a gift to someone in need. Invite a single friend, widow, colleague, military serviceman, elderly or any one who you know is alone this holiday to come share it with your family.

4) Give a Thanksgiving offering to a family in need. Prepare a meal or provide groceries to a family in need. You can check with your local non-profit organization, charities or churches for families in need.

5) Volunteer or have a tradition as a family to volunteer at a homeless shelter to feed the needy on Thanksgiving before you have your own family dinner.
