In this podcast being recorded just before Thanksgiving, we are thinking about about thanking. We are thinking about gratitude and  we are thinking about home. “Gratitude begins in our hearts and then dovetails into behavior.” writes Anne Lamott. Today’s theme is on how we can set the table of our lives  for a renewed practice of giving thanks.  Our Thanksgiving List builds upon Romans 12:9-18.

Some of you may be listening to this podcast while traveling home. Or you are in the kitchen making preparations, getting ready to receive family at your home. Home isn’t ultimately a destination. It’s where life happens. It’s about the pets buried in the backyard and the pencil marks on the closet door showing how tall the kids have grown.

It is about the thanksgiving meals we’ve shared at the table, whether thanksgiving meals or casseroles to comfort our grief. Home is where we live out the whole tapestry of human existence, good and bad, mundane and extraordinary, regret and gratitude.

Thinking about gratitude and home, what better song comes to mind than Phillip Phillips: “Home” which is featured in this podcast. And we have a great suggestion on how to have more meaningful conversations around your Thanksgiving table.
