Thankful

My friend Janet gave me this fantastic F.H.E. idea - making a "Thankful Wall" or in my case door. She even made the sign capable of being copied in jpg form on her blog. THANKS JANET!!


We had a good time last night writing down things we are thankful for. The kids especially loved decorating the Thankful door. I should have taken a picture of the door the way Rachel decorated it. She put the leaves in a neat straight line across the bottom. That's my girl!

I wish leaves could represent the gratitude we have in our hearts for the blessings we have. As you can see, OUR CUP RUNNETH OVER!

We have had so many people in our lives the last couple of months who have helped us through hard times. From treats and cards to trucks and yardwork, family and friends have come into our lives as a reminder that we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and knows our needs. We are so HAPPY and so filled with the love of Christ in our hearts and home.

THANK YOU!!




I bet if we all truly sat and contemplated our blessings we would find ourselves lost in them just like Rachel in the pile of leaves!

Wow, she really DID get lost! :) The customized header looks awesome. Let's make sure to keep template mama on the DL so people don't stop thinking we're brilliant.
