Last November I was living in my parent's old house (after they had moved across the country) with my sister, my best friend, and a new friend. The four of us girls were crowded into that house with so much stuff that our friends joked that it might explode. It was literally busting at the seams. I was in a very transitional time, it was my first year since college to not be teaching or working full-time or near my young siblings and somehow the teacher/big sister wormed her way out and created a cheesy thankfulness mantle display (it's a great replacement bulletin board).
It looked like this:

| This year my sweet sister sent all the stuff from last year, so we've recreated our 30 days of thankfulness! |
 |
| This year! Thanks to friends for sending the die-cut shapes, it put us straight into the holiday spirit! And thanks Poly for the funny card and sweets!! |
 |
| Join us in giving thanks to the Father, the giver of every good gift and every perfect gift (James 1). If you send me what you're thankful for, we'll write it and add it to our list! |
Today, I am thankful for the weather - it has finally begun to remotely resemble fall! The temperature is cool and we even had a little rain this morning. And we have a cozy little apartment where we get to drink our hot American coffee and watch the rain from the window. ;) His blessings overflow!
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name! Psalm 100:4
