Taking for Granted

‎"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." 

~Cynthia Ozick

Love Your People

‎"Love the people God gave you, because He will need them back one day."

The People Who Make You You

‎"God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you the person you were meant to be."

Flower Turkeys
This is from one one of my favorite cooking websites, Our Best Bites
You can make Thanksgiving Turkeys out of artificial flowers cut in half and some felt. You could turn them into place cards, put on neighbors gifts as an embellishment, make napkin rings rings out of them, or little girl hair clips, the possibilities are endless. To head on over there and for more details, click HERE

Thanksgiving Table Cloth

Love this idea! Use a white bed sheet (or real table cloth), using fabric markers, have everyone write something down they're thankful for. You go do one per year, or just have one, and keep adding to it every year.

Everything Happens for a Reason

Be That Person

"Be the person that makes others feel special. Be known for your kindness and sympathy."

Loving in the Present

"The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present."
Barbara De Angelis
