A new perspective on Thanksgiving with Raymond Arroyo

Hi Friends! We have a fun interview today, just in time for Thanksgiving! Most of us know that there is a funny little tradition for the President to pardon a turkey on Thanksgiving day. But do you know where that tradition came from? It actually started with Abraham Lincoln and his son, Tad. My guest today Raymond Arroyo wrote a children’s book that tells the story! Today Raymond and I talk about how we are parenting in a challenging time, but we can learn from parents who have gone before us, the influence we have in our kids lives and the influence they have in ours, how Abraham Lincoln grew in faith over the years, what he meant Thanksgiving to be, and what mercy means for us and our kids. I hope this episode gives you a unique perspective on my personal favorite holiday! I put a link for mirliton dressing below, so you can try a new recipe this year! Remember that, at its core, Thanksgiving is about unity, mercy, and the family we are blessed with. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!With love,Steph Connect with RaymondSocial media: @realraymondarroyoWebsite:www.raymondarroyo.comwww.raymondarroyochristmas.comLinks mentioned:Last chance to get your copy of Jesus, the Light of the World before December 1!Mirliton DressingPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
