HAPPY THANKSGIVING
"In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Today as I reflect upon memories of Thanksgiving celebrations throughout my life, I am reminded of all I have to be grateful for.
The many blessings God has poured into my life are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
When I was a little girl in school we would trace the outline of our hand onto a piece of brown construction paper . In order to turn our hand print into a Thanksgiving Turkey we would cut different colors of paper into shapes of feathers and paste them onto the tips of our finger tracings. The part that was our thumb became the head and neck of the turkey which was easily identified by a red ribbon gobbler along with a black stove top hat .
Once our Turkey was complete we would write something we were thankful for on each colorful feather with a crayon and then carefully pasted our masterpiece onto a white paper plate.
My work of art became the centerpiece of our avocado green refrigerator where it boasted the things I was thankful for. :)
My hand print is much bigger now and all that I have to be thankful for far exceeds all the feathers on a Turkey!
However, I have decided to make a new top ten list of Blessings that I am grateful for and I am going to make it the centerpiece of my stainless steel refrigerator! :)
1) My Heavenly Father and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2) My wonderful Husband and our Family.
3) Our Farm home and our animals.
4) Our good health.
5) Our Church and Christian brothers and sisters.
6) We live in the U.S.A! Thanks to and God Bless our Military and Veterans!
7) Vanilla Caramel Latte and Chocolate Kisses. XOXO!
8) Sitting by a warm fire with my sweetheart.
9) Hallmark Movies.
10) Sunrises and Sunsets.
I have a lot to "GIVE THANKS" for!
How about you?
Is your heart thankful today?
Will you make a list of ten things that you can thank God for?
" Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless his name!"
Psalm 100:4
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS!
HALLELUJAH!
