 These are images of Thanksgiving, which gives us the opportunity to REALLY count our blessings every year.. .. .. which of these resonate with you?

The Norman Rockwell painting to our left is my favorite, perfectly showing the anticipation, happiness and provision given to this multi-generational family.  Makes my heart warm just to look at it! 

Here, all are gathered together, small children, teenagers, parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents – all to focus on the plenty they have in their midst. 

 At our house, this would be a time of prayer, thanking our Lord for all of these many gifts.  This would be my ideal Thanksgiving!

 

 As we ponder these thoughts, and review in our minds the really meaningful things and people in our lives, remember their deep and lasting value over and over again.  I love to “re-appreciate” my blessings, counting them and thanking our Lord.  Finally, This artistic Thanksgiving rendition features a charming little girl in the center, right where our children reside in our hearts, no matter how old or young they are.  Truly, let this image be your reminder of this special American tradition of Thanksgiving in the fall -  a reminder of all the joys in our lives, most especially our families.
