Thanksgiving Miscellany

Here's a link for a fun, Google decoration for Thanksgiving ... Open the link, click on the turkey feathers, or better yet, the hat, the shoes, the wing ... It's one of those random, funny things your kids (or you?) could play with for a while ...
(Update: The cute Thanksgiving Google decoration is gone now. It was a cute turkey-in-the-shape-of-a-hand, with feathers, hat and shoes that would change if you clicked on them. It was fun while it lasted ...)

Our kitchen markerboard includes these right now:

"In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." I Thessalonians 5:18

"O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever," Psalm 136:1


Something to think about ... "What if you woke up today with only the things you specifically thanked God for yesterday?"

My kids and I had an interesting discussion on that quote at the end ... it makes you think about all those little things that are too easy to take for granted.

My friend Cassandra writes an eloquent and thought-provoking blog, called Moonboat Cafe. She shares some of her thoughts on Thanksgiving in her Monday post Growth and the Holidays. Definitely worth reading.

I hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving Day. We have much to be thankful for.
