On the Sunday Before Thanksgiving with Joyce and Barry- Shared Heart
Dear Shared Heart Friends,
Here is a short video with a message on the Sunday before Thanksgiving with Joyce and Barry and a song from Barry.
Welcome to our home. This is the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and we wanted to send a Thanksgiving message to all of you. I love Thanksgiving. I love it because it’s just such a special thing to devote a day to being thankful. I know that doesn’t always happen, like the whole day, but at least part of the day. So here’s some suggestions.
You can:
- Spend time alone or with your partner in the morning, and focus on gratitude.
- If you’re sitting with someone else, share your gratitude.
- Then maybe spend some time texting people you won’t see, and just briefly, I’m thinking of you. I love you, and I’m so grateful for you. I’ve gotten a few of these, and they mean a lot, especially to get them on Thanksgiving morning.
I know Thanksgiving is so much about the food. We haven’t had a turkey for 53 years. We’ve been vegetarian, but still, you know, we make all these vegetarian things. I know it’s a lot of work and focus for the day, but before this is our suggestion, this is something that we’ve done in our family forever. Before we eat, we sit in a circle in our living room.
Everyone shares what they’re most deeply grateful for in the year now, and our kids haven’t always really enjoyed this. Still, they know this is part of Thanksgiving as much as the meal. This is part of Thanksgiving, and they know they can’t get out of it, so our grandson knows this is part of Thanksgiving, and what’s beautiful is to hear them. You can listen to more in the video above.
