Why Thanksgiving Isn't Just for November

Life Is Relationships

Thanksgiving brings the excitement of fellowship with family, enjoying our favorite holiday foods and taking a break from work to rest. But this time of year can also be stressful due to travel, family dynamics and financial strains. In this episode, Seth and Alicia Williams share ideas for maintaining a heart centered on gratitude so we can focus on the true meaning of the season rather than getting caught up in the noise around us.
