Trying to teach your kids about being grateful one way is to attend the Hymns of Thanksgiving. I have been lucky enough to enjoy the concert since its beginnings.
The Hymns of Thanksgiving is one great way to celebrate the holiday season. The concert series began in 2003 inspired by Steven Ricks. The concert is performed every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. It a free concert for the whole family to enjoy put on by members of the community. If you missed it this year you will be able to watch on it PBS 4 and 4.1 on Thanksgiving Day 7-8:30. I would take the opportunity to watch it and enjoy many of the local talented people we have in the community.
"Even though I enjoy all holidays and can find ways to celebrate each of them, I have always been especially fond of Thanksgiving. There are probably a number of reasons it has appealed to me. Most importantly, it was a day set aside by the first president of the United States in the earliest chapters of our country’s history to acknowledge and give thanks to a beneficent God for the preservation and protection of this blessed land.
Hymns of Thanksgiving began in 2003 with just some random ideas based on my appreciation for good music and my love of Thanksgiving traditions. It seems that of all the holidays celebrated throughout the year, Thanksgiving spawns more honored family traditions than any other. Each family or person asked about traditions associated with this celebration is usually eager and happy to share the memories and happiness fondly remembered about this season of the year." -Steven Ricks Information taken from the Hymns of Thanksgiving website.
