Thankful Tree

Wow. I find it hard to imagine that it's the first Monday of November already! Now is the time to tweak the harvest décor with some Thanksgiving touches, so I put up our little five foot "thankful tree". 

My topper is from Dollar Tree. Last year they sold a three-pack of these script words and I felt this one, of course, was perfect.

The glass acorn ornaments were purchased at Hobby Lobby a few years ago.

I ordered the engraved ornaments from a friend who offers the service through their family business. All I did was request the pumpkin and maple leaf shapes, select some favorite Bible verses and they did all the work. I love the way they turned out.

I filled in the branches with faux fall leaves and bittersweet.

I used a scrap of burlap for the tree skirt and clustered three pumpkins I had.

 The mercury-looking one lights up at nighttime, as shown below.

All of us, of course, have so much for which to be grateful. May we count our blessings each day and not just during this season of Thanksgiving.

...Your life should be full of thanks to Him.
