Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts and blessèd peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills, in this world and the next!
All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given;
The Son and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven;
The one eternal God, whom earth and Heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore. -Martin Rinkart, 1693
we are enjoy a gorgeous tennessee thanksgiving. we drove here all night and somehow managed not to pack any regular shoes for dylan, who we loaded into the car in pjs. today, she is running around with bare legs and arms in a corduroy thanksgiving jumper sans shirt (too warm!) and winter boots with poms.
what's your favorite thanksgiving food? i love it all: stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, PIE. mmmmm....
do you savor any special traditions? our family is so young we're still feeling our way and are interested in adopting more holiday traditions. this year we did a thanksgiving "tree," gathering sticks into a giant vase and hanging paper leaves listing blessings. it's been something really fun to do with dylan. i'll have to post a photo of it later.
may you enjoy a wonderful, food and family-filled holiday!
