I love the Thanksgiving holiday. Actually, it is one of my favorite days of the year. What better way to start preparing for the holiday season than by sharing with you my favorite Thanksgiving quotes and images of gratitude? I am so excited to share this post with you as we begin thinking toward the Thanksgiving holiday.
I love how this time of the year brings people together and how it allows time for my little family to spend some extra quality time together. Of course, I love the Thanksgiving dinner, the (usually) beautiful South Florida weather, the good mood and sense of festivity that surrounds us.
I even enjoy looking back at fun Thanksgiving pics I have snapped of our little family over the years. As a teacher, naturally, I love the couple of days off of school before the busy Christmas month hits us! Ha! Thanksgiving Day is truly a wonderful day.
How do I become truly grateful?

Even as the season grows more busy as the month goes by, I have really tried, over the past few years in particular, to not just allow the season to pass me by. I especially don’t want it to pass by without some intentional focus on not only the great luxuries of life, but the small things and ordinary opportunities that add so much joy to my life too.
I know that we should count our blessings every day, not just around the Thanksgiving holiday. Honestly, I do try to practice that as well. However, I also think it is incredibly meaningful when we carve out time of an otherwise busy season to really focus on cultivating a thankful, grateful heart.

What is a quote about Thanksgiving?
My hope is that you will take the challenge along with me to express thanks and focus on a truly grateful heart during this Thanksgiving season.
However, I hope you won’t think of this challenge to express gratitude is something to check off your daily to do list (though it can be helpful to jot it down to remind you and a great way to help you get into the habit!).
Instead, I try to approach it as an actual effort to create a healthy mindset of true thanksgiving in the middle of routine jobs and little things throughout my day. At the same time, not focusing on just a single day of Thanksgiving greetings, but rather a whole season to “wear gratitude”, so to speak.
Focusing on Thanksgiving messages will not only lift you up, but those around you too.

I even printed some out to use as individualized place cards for my Thanksgiving table! It could even become a new Thanksgiving tradition for your dinner table!
Most of all, I help they help you and I to focus our minds and hearts during this season. It is easy to look around and see all the problems, all the heartaches, all the loss and suffering, all the frustrations and disappointments. There have been many this year.
However, I don’t think we honor God, one another, or ourselves by dwelling there. Even on the darkest of days, we are blessed beyond measure with Thanksgiving blessings. I hope you enjoy these beautiful Thanksgiving quotes and Happy Thanksgiving images. Hopefully you can use them as the perfect reminder of your many reasons to have a grateful heart.
My goal is to make Thanksgiving messages my focus during this time of the year. Will you join me?
