The abundance of "Thanks"giving


“rooted and build up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:7

Just a few short hours I will be thinking of the many families that will gather together and the countless hours spent in the kitchen preparing that perfect "Thanks"giving dinner finishing up the last minute assembling of each special dish. 
The table will be set in slender and with name tags where each person is to sit in anticipation of their "Thanks”giving dinner. Good Morning and thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule to join me for a brief moment on this  "Thanks" giving Day, I so appreciate our time spent together and I’m confidence that your Thanksgiving is going to be wonderful. 

It brings me great joy to see my family embracing the aroma as they step into the kitchen peeking in a pan or peering into the oven with anticipating tummies. Seeing the joyfulness of my children and grandchildren who helped to prepare it brings such satisfaction to a mother’s heart.  A fire will be built, games will be played and a time of sweet reflection of our Thankful hearts and yes with full bellies will be told throughout the day.

I know my heart will sing…Praise God from whom all blessings flow… so many things to be thankful for today and as you join your family whether big or just a few;  take time for a  hug and tell each other how “Thankful” you are for them and then give the reason why you’re “thankful!”

Make it a great day….as I know ours will be filled with lots of Turkey….naps and football.. oh yes and we’ll leave some room for Pumpkin Pie! 
See the abundance of His great love in each other and let thankfulness pour out of your  heart as you share with a “Thank~ful Note” of gratitude to one another. 

SO much to be thankful for... take nothing for granted!!!

And thank you to each one of you that has poured into my life...have a sweet savoring Thanksgiving from my thankful heart to yours.

Love, Debbie
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. Psalm 100:4
