Thankful Rolls

Whether you have rolls like this. . . 

 

 
or like this. . .

think about this. . .

With so many of us sharing our "thankfulness" each day leading up to Thanksgiving, I thought this idea of the thankful rolls would be a neat idea for your dinner table next to the turkey and dressing.  What a surprise when someone reaches for a roll, opens it up to butter, and finds this. . .   :)

Why have just a roll when you can have a thankful roll?

 

Eat, drink, and share your blessings. 

 

Just be sure you don't eat the written one!



And please!  Don't stop counting your blessings after Thanksgiving.  Ann Voskamp from 1000 Gifts taught me to count every day which I've been doing for over a year now.  They are marked in a journal and I'm getting close to 1500 now.  It's such a joy to find even the smallest of blessings each day and record.  It has become a life of Thanksliving!

"naming offers the gift of recognition, the naming of moments is truly a holy work"

"gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world."

"Is eucharisteo (thanksgiving) opening the eyes wider, the heart deeper?  Is this paradox-that giving thanks for what is, creates an appetitie for more-not for more things, but for seeking more of God to give more glory?  Looking is love." 

"when I give thanks for the seemingly microscopic, I make a place for God to grow within me.  This makes me full, and I  "magnify Him with thanksgiving" 
(Psalm 69:30)

Enjoy those rolls :)
