Only a few more days til Thanksgiving, which happens to be my husband's favorite holiday. One of the reasons that he loves it so much is because of all the holidays, it has managed to stay relatively commercialism free and the focus is on being thankful for what God has blessed us with over the past year. He also loves the rich history behind the holiday and it doesn't hurt that he actually has some kin folks who sailed over on the Mayflower. Ever heard of the bad Billington Boys who almost burned up the Mayflower when they set fire to a keg of gunpowder? Yep, some of his kin. And their dad? Well, we won't even go there..
That said, Thanksgiving Day is a big day for us. We love dreaming about, fixing, and eating all the traditional dishes; spending time with family and friends; reading books, watching videos, and telling family stories related to the pilgrims; and as mentioned above, taking time to say thanks to the Lord for all He has done.
.
To prepare our hearts for Thanksgiving Day, I wanted to go ahead and start thinking about some of the blessings in our lives. After all, every day really should be a day of giving thanks for God's goodness!
.
To begin the counting of our blessings is 4 year old Miss M. Here is her list of things she is thankful for:
."Littlest Pet Shop"
.
"Getting a Spirit (the horse) birthday for my 5 year old."
.
"I'm grateful for going to Grandmommy's house when it's Christmas."
.
"I'm thankful for we're going to 4th of July at Grandmommy's"
.
"I'm thankful for Blue Baby Doll and that she'll get lots of stuff for Christmas"
.
"For dressing up like a monster."
.
"Kitty-cats"
.
"That's it Mama."
.
Ain't she a sweetie? I definitely have my little girl on my Thanksgiving blessings list.

Merry as a toddler sharing her Thanksgiving feast with her cousin's dog. If a dog can be thankful and count his blessings, he was including Miss M on his list that day.
