Gratitude. There is so much power in the word. The moment it is uttered, even the staunchest complainer is silenced. It changes the attitude in a heartbeat and washes over the spirit like a waterfall. Is there any other word as sweet? The list of things I thank God for gets longer each day, and my contentment grows proportionally. I wish for all of you a refreshing shower of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day.
A couple of months ago, I shared with you that I had finished my Christmas quilt. I promised that I would unveil it at the beginning of the Christmas season. I saw Santa arrive at the close of the Macy's parade, so I guess this is it - the official start of the Christmas season. I found this quilt design in At Home With Thimbleberries Quilts by Lynette Jensen. I've wanted to make it for years, but somehow the time was never right. This year, I have a wonderful throw to display on the dining room table.
Each house has it's own theme.
I love the quilted design in the center.
My favorite part is the picket fence.
My heart is full as I wish for each of you the joy of gratitude and contentment. God bless you.
Until next time,
