Today’s Miracle Moment Is About The Miracle of Giving Thanks…
In the US, Thanksgiving is coming up, and in Canada, people celebrated Thanksgiving last month. And all sorts of holidays around the world are happening this season. This is a great time where we’re in a collective vibrational frequency of gratitude and celebration.
I love Thanksgiving because the collective consciousness is focused on Gratitude and Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations we can tune into. Giving thanks helps us become a vibrational match for miracles.
As we get closer to the end of the year, it’s really powerful to be in gratitude, as this helps set us up for an even more miraculous year ahead.
Even though Thanksgiving is supposed to be focused on giving thanks, that can be hard. It’s a time for family gatherings and not everyone is excited to go to family gatherings – there can be unhealed stuff between family members, triggers, or that family members who has that rare gift of saying things that make everyone else uncomfortable. It’s like that quote by Ram Dass that says,
“If you think you’re enlightened, spend a week with your family.”
Giving thanks is powerful because what you put your attention on grows stronger. When you put your attention on what you appreciate, you get more of that. What you appreciate, appreciates. When your attention is on what you’re grateful for, you start noticing more and more of that. And, the people in your life naturally blossom when they’re seen in that light of gratitude and appreciation.
On the other hand, when you put your attention on what you judge, you get more of that. if you’re focusing on what drives you crazy about someone, that’s all you start to notice about them.
Giving thanks and appreciation for the people in your life is a gift for you and the people in your life because it shifts the energy between you to a higher vibration.
Here’s a great way to really apply the principle of giving thanks during your Thanksgiving or holiday gathering with family and friends. It’s called the Appreciation Feast.
This can shift your energy and your whole family’s energy:
I have been doing this with my family at Thanksgiving for 20 years. On Thanksgiving, we feast on a lot of food, but it’s this feast that has made my recent Thanksgivings awesome.
We go around the table and appreciate one thing about each person at the table.
The first year we did this, we started with my Mom. I said, “Mom, something I appreciate about you is how generous you are.” Then the next person said they appreciated how funny she was. By the end of the appreciations, she was in tears. Then we moved to the next person.
To do this, you go around the entire table one person at a time until each person is appreciated by everyone. This is such a feast!
Maybe you think – I don’t know if my family would ever want to do that. Well, you won’t know if you don’t try. And if you start things off by expressing your appreciation for one family member, soon, everyone else will want to chime in and get involved.
And if you’re not able to get together in person, you can even do an Appreciation Feast over Zoom or video calls.
If you want to capture this, remember to record it via video. I promise when those people are gone, you’re going to treasure that video!
One little tip…the first year we did our appreciation feast before the meal, while the meal was getting cold. So, we suggest you do your appreciation feast after the meal and before dessert instead.
This is a sure way to have a most heart-opening experience of Thanksgiving.
So, you can start the Appreciation Feast in the comments – what or who are you thankful for in your life? Let’s all be in this miraculous energy of gratitude together. And I’ll leave you with this quote from Meister Eckhart:
“If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough.”
I’m wishing you a beautiful holiday season and beyond, and sending you my love!

I thank God for my health, job, peace, financial standing, and protection. The ability to give. It is nice to have an imagination to wonder in during my times of boredom. Thank God for the election and the rightful placement of God of the Universe in our society. We fight spiritual wickedness in high places and God give us the strength to win the fight.
Im so grateful for being alive, for opening my eyes today, for enjoying every moment of my life. Every moment is a miracle, it’s a incredible experience and opportunity to learn and be better.
Beautifully said, Sylvie! Agreed that every moment is indeed a miracle. More miracles to you!

Hi Carol,
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your inspiring story with us. More miracles to you!
Since there will be 17 of us I think what I’ll do is tell them each individually in a conversation. But I absolutely love this idea and already I’m thinking of things to tell them, thank you!
Hi Carolisa,
Sorry to get back to you so late, but I hope the idea worked out for you and you had a lovely time with your loved ones.
Claudette Gregg; I am so grateful that despite my broken leg I did get to go to Africa to see my beloved baby orphan elephants. I was able to continue to adopt my 2 girl elephants who are not quite 3 years and see my precious baby bull of now 10 mos who is healthy and energtic. I have just returned and they are my passionate gratitudes! I am grateful to find Marcie’s articles today as a thanksgiving gift and to be inspired by the comments of others.Blessings and Namaste.
Such beautiful things, Claudette! More miracles to you.
