We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is “good,” because is it good, if “bad” because it works in us patience, humility, and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country. ~ C. S. Lewis
When life is hard, it can be difficult to lift our thanks up to God. Yet when we lose our ability to be grateful (relationships, sadness, loss, suffering), we double our loss. Whatever the situation, whether we’re cooking the bird, taking pies or side dishes or salads, or heading out to a restaurant with family or friends, Thanksgiving Day is more than the feast. God’s desire is for us is to be deeply involved in each other’s lives … hard times and all.
That is what I love about This Good Day. It goes deeper, beyond the picture …
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, to my family and friends!






Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this “icon” portrays a great message. It says that dinner parties are attainable, they are affordable, and that they can be beautiful even when on a budget.
