A Thanksgiving Blessing by Pastor Mary Kearney

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to reflect on the blessings in our lives. Here are some ideas for how to express gratitude and share blessings during this season:

Personal Reflection

   •   Gratitude Journal: Write down things you’re thankful for, from small joys to major milestones.

   •   Prayer of Thanks: Offer a prayer of gratitude for the people, opportunities, and moments in your life.

Sharing Blessings

   •   Volunteer: Help at a local food pantry, soup kitchen, or community event.

   •   Donate: Support organizations or causes, such as virtual churches or outreach programs, that provide for those in need.

   •   Acts of Kindness: Send a thoughtful note, cook a meal for someone, or offer a helping hand to neighbors or friends.

Celebrating Together

   •   Thanksgiving Meal: Host or participate in a meal with loved ones, emphasizing togetherness and thankfulness.

   •   Community Events: Attend a Thanksgiving service, parade, or charity event.
