Giving Thanks

Today is Thanksgiving.

A day where families and friends come together, enjoy traditional foods, and share what they’re thankful for. But the truth is, gratitude shouldn’t be limited to one day. We should find something to be thankful for everyday. It shifts our perspective.

We complain about cleaning… in the home we once prayed God would bless us with. We get frustrated filling up the gas tank… in the car that gets us where we need to go. It doesn’t mean we can’t acknowledge our feelings—life is not always positive. But I’ve learned that perspective truly is everything.

Perspective helps us focus on what actually deserves our attention. When we fixate on the negative, we risk missing what really matters. Simple idea, tough execution. I get it.

Banana pudding has been a staple at gatherings for as long as I can remember. And since Thanksgiving is also about the joy of sharing food with the people we love, here’s a recipe you can enjoy today or any time you need a little southern comfort. I am sure you will bless your loved ones with this recipe!
