When we come to a table, whether it be a humble kitchen table, a dining room table, a restaurant table or a wedding table, the way it is prepared speaks volumes. And we can capitalize on this in our homes this Thanksgiving!
What would I like our Thanksgiving table to say this year? Gratefulness. Love. Hope.
Gratefulness to the Lord,
…by adding some Thanksgiving decorations to our table as a center piece to help create an atmosphere of celebration and gratitude.
Love to my family,
…by taking a bit of time and effort to add special touches. A tablecloth made by my great grandmother; china dishes – a family tradition passed down from my mother; colorful napkins and Thanksgiving place cards. Nothing really elaborate. Just thoughtful touches.
Hope for the future
…by adding candles. A glowing reminder that Jesus is the light of the world. He is our hope! Praise Him!
