Today, as we number our blessings, we are grateful for so many undeserved gifts. Here are just a few of them:

We’re thankful for the friends and family who have impacted our lives in deep ways…and also for the fictional characters who have done the same.

We want to take time to appreciate the moments of hope in the middle of hard times that we’ve experienced in our lives…and in books that we’ve read.

We can list dozens of new places and experiences we’ve had in the past year…and some of them involve visiting other countries and era through the pages of stories.

We are grateful for the actual feast before us…and for a feast of knowledge through books that teach, entertain, challenge, and give us perspectives outside our own.

Happy Thanksgiving from your fellow readers at Bethany House!
