Our Thanksgiving Tree

"...but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!" Psalm 66:19-20



We have a new addition to our Christmas decorations this year....a Thanksgiving Tree!
For the past couple of years, we have been keeping an answered prayer and blessings notebook. (Some of you are in there!) At the end of each month, we sit down as a family and read the answered prayers and blessings that God has given in that particular month. (And we usually follow up with a dessert!) This year at Thanksgiving, we chose some "major" prayers and blessings for our family and typed them on cards to hang on a special tree. (All answered prayers and blessings from God are major!) We also hung the "Adornaments" on this tree that state the names of God and their explanations. This tree stands in our entrance to remind us as we come and go that Christmas is about Jesus and that He is living and active in our lives. Thanks to Mrs. Pat for the idea!
