We have a new tradition this year for Thanksgiving. Like old-fashioned paper Christmas chains, our Thanksgiving chains are draped in seasonal colors cut from old scrap book paper. Writing a word, or very simple idea, we are listing people, things, ideas, or experiences for which we are thankful. This has been an ongoing journey for several days, and has made a special remembrance chain of how God has provided perfectly for us. This is a satisfying keepsake that we will add to for years to come, and perhaps use the idea again in coming holidays.
Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on
your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children.
Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the
street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until
you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of
your cities so that you'll live a long time, and your children with you,
on the soil that God
promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the
Earth.
--The Message, Deuteronomy 11:18
