And so the month ends - so December can't be far behind!!

We had a little display at our Thanksgiving meal - Eliza had gathered branches and put them in a vase.  Then Hannah had cut out fall leaves with  twine to tie them to the branches.  When everyone was there, they were told to write down as many things as they were thankful for on the leaves, and then put the leaves on the branches.  It really was a lovely little activity - one I think we should continue.  

The table where she had set this all up had a chalkboard behind it, so Hannah wrote out ". . .live in thanksgiving daily. . ." and it seemed like a fitting motto for our daily lives!  It is from Alma 34:38.

Also seems a fitting conclusion to my month of gratitude.  And I hope I can remember it each day!

That is one of my favorite scriptures. Love the thankful tree activity.
