Life is busy. We wake up on Monday morning and hit the ground running. It is easy in the busyness to forget that which is of most importance—our relationship.

The holidays are here; Thanksgiving is next week for goodness sake!

How can we make the most of this season as husband and wife? We believe focusing on gratefulness is a great start.

Our human default is to complain about what’s not going as we want.

Let’s purpose instead to notice daily the things our spouse does or says that blesses us. Maybe even make a list and read it aloud to our spouse at some point on Thanksgiving.

This holiday is slowly being swallowed up between Halloween and Christmas, and it is by far my favorite holiday. I love the food, gathering together with friends and family and giving thanks to God for it all. It’s not just a day for football. It’s a day to notice God and thank Him for His love, presence and guidance all through the year.

Thanksgiving is a time to reset our focus from the busyness of life to what we deem most important.
