Thanksgiving is just around the corner! This Thanksgiving tree is a tradition that I have done with my kids since they were little. Franky, it is something I have started doing myself every day with journals I have sitting open around the house... Thanking God for everything, even the seemingly small things (got this inspiration from the book 1000 Gifts by Anne Voskamp... if you are looking for a change in your perspective or want to be more thankful in general I would encourage you to check this book out. I think everyone can use an extra dose of thankfulness). I love listening to the things my children are thankful for, and its so fun to look back at the past year and see what they said. Last year, when my daughter was 2, the first thing she was thankful for was Bass Pro- HaHa! My husband loved that one! If there is anything I want to stick with my kiddos when they leave the nest, I want it to be love for God and others and a thankful heart. The Bible is filled with verses on thanksgiving, but one of my personal favorites is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 " Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Happy Thanksgiving... Lets make it more than just in November :)
