With the holidays approaching, I wanted a reminder of the things that are truly important in life. This thankful tree craft is my way of reminding myself that no matter what might be going on in the world, I still have a lot of things to be thankful for.
With Thanksgiving coming in a few weeks, I am reminded of our yearly ritual before the big meal. A prayer of thanks. For the food on our plate and the friends and family who join us at the table. Silent prayers for renewed strength to meet personal challenges and requests for healing of ailments that afflict us. This thankful tree craft takes requires very few supplies and is incredibly easy to make.
