Preparing for the Holidays

#onpurpose Thanksgiving tips:

  1. Make your family Thanksgiving feast thankful #onpurpose. (2:05)
  2. Send notes of thanks to people who have blessed your life. (4:02)
  3. Spend time with the Lord thanking him for blessinging. Take your time. Be as specific as possible. (4:44)

Believe it or not, the word “holidays” is an old mash up word that means “holy days”.  How about that? 

#onpurpose Christmas tips:

  1.  Go look at Christmas lights together.
  2. Watch Christmas movies together (both newer & classic).
