While out and about on blogging travels I found this wonderful site giving directions for a Thanksgiving Blessings Basket. I think it's such a wonderful idea that I wanted to share it! http://www.creativeladiesministry.com/blessingbaskets.html. We do a blessings tree here at our home but this would be a great gift for my Gram who just came back home from a 2 month stay at a nursing home. She is still healing and cannot get out much. I am thinking she could use the reminder of how much she is blessed. My idea is to give Gram the basket and have the kids and I help her write a few blessings each time we visit. Gram has Rheumatiod arthritis and cannot write much. Blessing to you all.
My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD12- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD9- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added sweet flavor to our family.
DS5- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He's the little man and best helper around! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
