Thanksgiving Table Ideas & Inspiration

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Tablescape Tuesday, Thanksgiving

Hello sweet friends. It is so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is a little over two weeks away! Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday because it redirects our focus from daily clutter, daily challenges, daily distractions, and daily busy-ness…to remembering that everyday living, Jesus understands. And, that is a fact I am truly grateful for!

I dug into the archives to bring you ideas and inspiration for your Thanksgiving tables. No matter the number of beautiful faces that will surround your table, whether two or twenty, why not make your tablescape pretty and inviting?

 

“I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving.”

A Thankful Thanksgiving

~ Blog hop, Everyday Living, Faith, Thanksgiving

Hello sweet friends. November is here and we will celebrate one of my favorite holidays…Thanksgiving! 

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭100:4‬ ‭

I am joining a group of table stylists to share inspiration and ideas for your Thanksgiving celebration. A special thank you to Chloe at Celebrate & Decorate for organizing us.

I have been hosting Thanksgiving for many years. My heart will be full as my family gathers around the dining room table! I will serve the traditional recipes from my beloved Mother. Turkey with dressing, rosemary mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green beans Caesar, four cheese macaroni, yeast rolls, and jellied cranberry sauce from the can (my Daddy’s request). Desserts will be pecan pie and carrot cake. Most of us will have tables laden with food while many around the world will go to bed hungry. Am I thankful enough for Food? Clothing? Shelter? Or do I take these basic needs for granted?

Finding contentment always begins with a heart filled with thankfulness for the blessings that we have received.

Thankful Today & Every Day

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Thanksgiving

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”
‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:34‬ ‭

Even though Thanksgiving is as late on the calendar as it can occur, it still seems like it came out of nowhere! Maybe it is because we had triple digit temps lingering into October here in Alabama. Some of you no doubt think otherwise as many have had unseasonal cold and snow already! But the fact remains, it is here, so let’s celebrate!
