Thanksgiving highlights: Feathers

"Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows."
James 1:17

Because we can't go a week without a craft, Abby got the whole family involved in helping her make a thankful turkey in between all the cooking and eating on Thanksgiving Day. We cut out feathers and left them lying out with instructions for everyone present at the Thanksgiving feast to take a moment and write down what they're thankful for this year. The result is an adorable record of who we dined with this year and a reminder of all the good and perfect gifts God has blessed us with.

For her part, Abby is thankful at the time for feathers (since that's what we were making), puppies and meows (which top her prayer list everytime), and the ground (which is where she had to sit if she wanted to play with the glue). The cat, apparently, is thankful to have Caleb chasing her around. And Uncle Ryan is thankful for the 1 in a million chance that Tech will beat Georgia on Saturday.

There simply was not enough room on my little scrap of construction paper to capture what I'm thankful for this year. God has blessed me with a healthy family, a great husband, two awesome kids, and so much more. To Him be the glory on Thanksgiving day and always!
