Counting Our Blessings

~ Autumn, Blog hop, Fall, Family, Tablescapes, Thanksgiving

Happy Tuesday sweet friends. November holds within its thirty days a special day to count our blessings. The fourth Thursday of November is not only a gathering for reflecting and remembering the blessings of the past year, it also challenges us to express heartfelt gratefulness each day until Thanksgiving greets us again next year! Let thankfulness be 365!

“Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

I am excited to join 16 table stylists for a Thanksgiving Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my lovely friend, Rita from Panolpy. You will find all of the links for tabletop ideas and inspiration at the bottom of this post.READ MORE

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭100‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Welcome to November and standard time. I personally prefer daylight time, but Pam is fine with standard. Maybe the best thing is to leave it one way or the other? I’m reminded that there are 24 hours in each day, and I need to determine to make the most of them!

The 90 foot nearby Noccalula Falls is temporarily not living up to it’s identity. We have had a few light showers over the past couple of days and November will likely bring back the stream!READ MORE

We have never celebrated Thanksgiving anywhere but home. As long as my beloved Mother was living, she hosted Thanksgiving in my childhood home. I have hosted Thanksgiving for the past seventeen years and consider it a blessing to be able to do so.
