As is the custom for many at this time of the year,
we are reflecting on God's bountiful blessings to our family.
In years past we have done a 'tree of thanks',
it's a project that we have enjoyed, but this year we are doing something just a bit different....
an 'advent calendar' for Thanksgiving.
First, we made our own envelopes (one for each day of November,)
and then we searched online for cute images and clip-art to decorate them.
 
Inside the envelopes are small slips of paper that say, "I am thankful for...."
Each day we will each write down one thing that we are especially thankful for, and then place it in the pocket for the day.
At the end of the month,(or perhaps at our Thanksgiving celebration,)
we will all read our slips and share with one another just how richly we have been blessed.
Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.
1 Chronicles 29:13
