I’m thankful for:

My daughter’s return to health

My grandchildren who keep our life exciting

The sparkle of sun on snow

The song of the chickadees in morning

The wagging greeting of our dog when we get home

The squealing guinea pig who makes us laugh

My ability to write and inspire others

The colorful leaves around our home in autumn

The scent of apple pie baking

The memories of growing up on a farm

The friends who lift me up when I’m sad

My love of travel

And making quilts and fabric art with my daughter

Thank you, Lord, for all the joys in my life.

What are you thankful for?

Did you take my challenge of writing a Thankful Poem?

Mary Emma’s Thankful Poem

Why not write a Thankful Poem for Thanksgiving?  This can be an activity you’re involved in with your children, holiday guests or simply yourself. 

For details on one way to do this, check out my post, Mary Emma’s Writing Tip – A Thankful Poem, at One Book Two Book.

Another way to write the poem is to spell the word THANKSGIVING down the page.  Then write something for each letter, such as Traveling to Grandma’s, Having a festive family meal, etc.  Then decorate the page with  a Thanksgiving motif. 

What about making a collage of either type of poem and decorating with fabric, paper, and embellishments?

Thankful Poems might be a Thanksgiving Day activity or something you do over the weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!
