Thankful In All

As this season of Thanksgiving approaches, I reflect over the past couple of months. There have been life changing changes in my life. The hard kind of changes. Changes that we only understand to be the mystery of God. Yet I know of His unending grace and I know I must live thankful.

God asks us to give thanks in all circumstances. Always and for everything. Not just when it is easy to accept the good… but also the bad. Giving thanks always and in everything is the only way to live through anything that comes before us.

Through it all He is there. God is there. He has always been there and He will always be there.

Thanksgiving is so much more than a holiday. It is not about the things; it is about Him. We give thanks because of Who He is.

And as our family gathers around a table filled with love and all of our life changes, we will be thanking Him for all. Embracing being thankful in all.

I would love to share these tags with you to use on your Thanksgiving table. You can click on each of the three images {free 4.5″ x 2.5″ PDF printables} and you will be able to download them, to then print and use in your own home. Personal use only, please.

I printed the tags on plain white card stock, then cut them out and cut along the two horizontal lines. Using a brown ink pad, I rubbed the ink around the sides of the cutout tag, letting some of the ink just come over the top edge. This gives the tags a nice finished look and also hides the stark white edge.

I used some dried pods I found outside to slide through the two cuts. You can use a variety of things for this like flowers, dried grasses, branches, wheat would be beautiful too! You also can simply turn these into place settings by just adding the name in the center!

I would love for you to join me in being thankful in all, good and bad, by sharing in the comments!
