"An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" by Louisa May Alcott

  1. "An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" by Louisa May Alcott Joshua Sheats 40:00

Today, in celebration of the American holiday “Thanksgiving Day,” I want to share with you a recording of short story written by Louisa May Alcott, called “An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving.”

The audio file has no commentary—it’s merely an unabridged reading of the story—and is suitable for you to share with your children as a worthwhile story to enjoy this time of year.

But this story is filled with financial lessons for those with ears to hear.

As you listen to a life of long ago (circa 1830), I’d encourage you to reflect on the life that you and I now live in comparison.

For me, this reflection fills me with Thanksgiving, which is the starting point of living a rich life now.

You are rich. I am rich. Let’s realize it and act appropriately.

Joshua

Here are a few poem and prayers of Thanksgiving you may enjoy as well:

O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness! ~~William Shakespeare 1564-1616

May all who share these gifts today Be blessed by Thee, we humbly pray. What God gives and what we take ‘Tis a gift for Christ his sake;
