As part of our family devotion time during the month of November, we read small sections of a special Thanksgiving book. It was a book that 'refreshed our memory of the enormous sacrifices the Pilgrims made and of God's provision for them'.
As part of this new tradition, we took time to express our thankfulness to God. Each night I would cut a different shape from colored card stock and all of us (except Savannah) would write down one thing they were thankful for that day. What a JOY to see how excited the kids were each night to write their next "thankful thing".
Thanksgiving - A Time to Remember by Barbara Rainey, had beautiful illustrations and rich history lessons for all of us.
A summary of our many little pieces of paper filled with thanks -- some little and some great!!
