An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving


















"An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" by Louisa May Alcott is an old favorite of our's. According to tradition, I usually read it to myself and/or the boys a week or so before Thanksgiving. It's a quaint little story set in the 1820's about a family who is poor in money but rich in family, fun, love and tradition.

Speaking of an old-fashioned Thanksgiving, I hope that each of you has a lovely time with your families this week. Remember to count your blessings - naming them one-by-one - on Thanksgiving Day and every day to cultivate a thankful heart. See you next week!

I love that book!! It is a sweet story.

I'm not sure if you'd like to "play tag", but I hope that you will. I've found it a lovely and fun way to get to know some other godly women here in this big huge blogging world. Please visit my blog for details---the post of Tuesday, November 25th.

Blessings,
