Last-minute Thanksgiving Decor
Take a moment today to step back from all of your last minute prepararions and give it all over to the Lord. Do all for Him and it will all go much more smoothly!
Think for a moment about putting flowers on the table or twigs with a fall leaf garland, or go outside and grab some branches off a tree, then fill a clear vase with cranberries at the bottom, then place the branches in it. Put it on a table near the entry to your home with…
A guest book and a pen – so folks can record their presence. Any guest book will do, as long as you put it out so folks are able to register their attendance. For Thanksgiving, you might add the question, “What are you thankful for?” for your guests to answer beside their names.
Is your camera ready? Battery charged? If it’s a film camera, do you have a fresh roll or two? If it’s digital, have you downloaded all the pictures from your last photo shoot so that the memory card is empty and ready to shoot? Do you have a designated photographer in your family? If not, today would be a good day to make that assignment. This leaves you a little more freedom to tend to your guests and family and, of course, enjoy the day as well. Later on you can go through all the pictures as a family and relive some of your favorite moments.
These are just a few of the things I’m thinking about in the last day leading up to our Thanksgiving. What are you doing today? What other last minute preparations are you making?
