I decided to make all three available as something you can download and printout and take to your holiday gatherings. This will be my third Thanksgiving Scattergories. It’s been a while since I created a new Scattergory over here and with Thanksgiving just DAYS away I thought I should fix that. Dresden Shumaker created these Thanksgiving Scattegories sheets on Creating Motherhood, and we think they may be a holiday hit at your house–or a way to rejuvenate a November gratitude practice before the day actually arrives. Sometimes the best thankful story we have is the time we spend with the people we care about, on holidays and any day. It’s packed with promises, prayers, and writing prompts and will help hone that attitude of gratitude, not only in November, but all year long.Image credit by MTSOFan via Flickr, under Creative Commons In the meantime, if you’d like another great way to prepare your heart for Thanksgiving, pick up a copy of my new devotional journal, Count Your Blessings. But our entire family will count it a huge blessing if we can pull it off! My goal is to be completely moved into our new home by Thanksgiving. You may not hear from me as regularly as usual this month. But it will still look colorful if you print on colored copy paper. The latter will help you conserve printer ink. I made one version of our Thanksgiving Scattergories in color and another in black and white. This game challenges you to think of a different blessing for every letter of the alphabet. But it seems especially appropriate to do so in the month of November. ![]() Of course, anytime is a great time to count your blessings. So I’m thinking I’d better do that now, before I get busy and forget. I did, however, make a couple of Thanksgiving printables earlier this year to share with you. ![]() To be honest, I’ve been so distracted with our move that I’ve not really thought that far ahead. With Halloween behind us, my adult daughter called home tonight to ask what the family’s Thanksgiving plans are this year. So Doug only handed out candy to a couple hundred trick-or-treaters before driving back over to help distribute Snickers, Crunch, and Hershey bars to the hordes of super-heroes and Disney princesses lined up in our old driveway. The traffic wasn’t quite as heavy at the new address as it has always been here on the main drag. By double-teaming it this way, we were able to meet our new neighbors without disappointing the old ones. Since we’re currently in the process of moving, we stationed a parent with candy at both residences. As you can see in the pictures, costumed kids came by in droves to claim their candy. That’s why we passed out trick-or-treat tracts along with over a thousand full-sized candy bars this year. And what blessing begs to be shared more than the good news of the gospel? And our Thanksgiving Scattergories printable provides a fun way to help you do exactly that.īut autumn is a season not only for counting blessings, but for sharing them as well. Thanksgiving provides a perfect opportunity to count your blessings.
