“Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7: 12)
Amen! Praise goodness. Sing forth gratitude. Recognize the presence of divine wisdom and the power of divine Love. Have a hearty thanksgiving, one full of the conscious awareness of God, of the qualities of good that He is actively expressing for you and for all.
Awake today and every day to the right desire to give, and also the willingness to receive, without argument or reservation. We give thanks to God abundantly as we share in His grace thoroughly, never limiting Love’s boundless supply and the tender love that brings it home to us. We honor Life by living it with gratitude and receptivity, opening our arms to accept good things and our hearts to share eagerly, freely with all.
Thanksgiving Day is a precious reminder, but it isn’t limited to a Thursday in November. It is a stance of gratitude to be cultivated and sustained every day. Feast fully at God’s bountiful table of His own rich qualities—joy, beauty, mercy, strength, love, forgiveness, compassion, peace—and be so very grateful to be grateful, today and every day!
Amen and happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thanksgiving is not limited to the 2nd Monday in October either, which is the Canadian Thanksgiving. As far I know this holiday is celebrated in North America, yet variations of it exist in other countries around the world on different dates..
Thanks for that clarification, Magda! Happy Thanksgiving today and every day, here, there, and everywhere.
