Remembering to be thankful

This year I am thankful for trials.  I am thankful for the opportunities that they bring to let me be conformed into the image of Christ.  I am thankful for the way each trial reminds me that this place is not my home and Heaven and my Savior wait on the other side of all this.  I am thankful for the refining that trials bring in my life and I am thankful for a Great High Priest who sympathizes with my weaknesses.  We did a craft with the kids to let them have a chance to tell what they are thankful for...

 We did this craft at night so Brent could help, a rare treat.  :)

 Ta-da!  Little Thankful Turkeys.  Each feather has a different thing on it....

We are indeed blessed and I am thankful for Thanksgiving; the time of year that not only tells us that we are to be thankful, but to WHOM we are to give the thanks.  Praise the Lord!
