On our podcast this week, Jen Brimhall from Raise the Good, shares with us some fantastic ideas to do with your family to make you Thanksgiving more meaningful.

She teaches us how it is more than the commemoration of a meal that the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared together. It is an overarching principle that reminds us of everything that God has blessed us with. It is where universal brotherhood mingles with religion and patriotism- which we are all in desperate need of these days! Listen to hear her fun and amazing ways of doing this!!

Here are some ideas from Jen Brimhall for how we can have a meaningful thanksgiving:

Read a Thanksgiving Proclamation or two: It has been a tradition for the President of the United States to write a proclamation of Thanksgiving. This was started by George Washington, and then reinstated and continued by Abraham Lincoln. Jen found all of them here. Here are a couple of her favorites: George Washington’s Thanksgiving Address; Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Thanksgiving Address
