It's November. This month we celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday where we gather with friends and/or family and give thanks for all God has provided for us. This happened first at a Pilgrim and Native American harvest celebration in the 1600s, not too far south of Boston, and became a national holiday in Abraham Lincoln's time. I'm looking forward to the dinner, of course; the food and the company will be great. But it is good to give thanks more than one day a year, right? So, inspired by my friend Kit, Elizabeth and I began our family's November 'Wall of Thanks' this morning. When we're thankful for something, we can write or draw it up on the wall.
For reflection: Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. I Thes. 5:16-18
Love it, Heather! I hope your paper is WAY too small!!!!
