The Thankful Tree

"The tree ... is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men..."
(1 Ne 11:21-22).


As the leaves fell off of the outside trees, we taped leaves on the indoor tree. Doing this, though out November, would leaf us with increased gratitude to Him, from whom all blessings flow.
Some blessings:

Beautiful World; Music; Friends; T and Necklaces and Butternut Squash; 'Jammies; Electricity; Family; Backrubs; Freedom; A Roof Over Our Head; Quiet; Trucks; Health; Diversity; The Restoration; Naps; Clear Skies After Rain, Morning Runs, Hawks, Post-Run Lungs, Breakfast; Clean Diaper; Temple; Running; Sunsets with Sydney; Cars to Play With; 6 p.m.; the Gospel; Legos; The Bogus; Yummy Food.

Happy Thanksgiving!

oh super cute! Sometimes I forget what season it is here- since the leaves don't fall and we wear flip flops all year long! Happy Holidays!

I like your big colored leaves and your list of blessings. Who likes hawks? We enjoy seeing big Red Tail Hawks around Davis County. We put up our bird feeder on Thanksgiving...it didn't take long. We saw a BIG covey of quail, a least 30, scurry through our yard, out in the morning and back in the afternoon. I'm thankful for birds (including turkeys!) and for a wonderful family: husband, kids, spouses and grandkids.
