Thanksgiving Blessings

The season of Thanksgiving turns our hearts and our minds to the power of gratitude in our lives. As our ancestors harvested their crops to feed their families, they thanked god for all he had provided to bless and strengthen them.

Reaching Higher reminds us all that we must plant great seeds for our lives to guarantee a bountiful harvest. It is our choice as to what seeds we plant. Seeds of compassion, generosity, acceptance, love and forgiveness will give us a rich harvest. God wants us to be abundant, and to live a life of joyful blessings!

This Thanksgiving, I encourage you to challenge yourself. Call an old friend. Reach out to someone in need. Choose to forgive a family member and break down walls. Spend extra time with your least favorite relative. Together, let’s turn our attention away from what we don’t have, and focus instead on what we do have. Let’s take the time to thank god for all the blessings we can often take for granted.

As you race through the stores searching for bargains, remember that the real race that God calls us to is the race to love one another.

With Love to You and Your Family,

Susie Dahlmann
