Six years ago, I started a Thanksgiving Blessing journal for our family. Each person that we celebrate and spend the day with on Thanksgiving is encouraged to write their blessings in the journal.
It travels with us.
Each one has it’s own unique handwriting they call their own.
Keepsakes that will be admired by generations.
Some entries short, some long.
I anticipate each Thanksgiving day reading and reminiscing the past blessings year after year.
It makes me laugh.
It makes me cry.
Oh, how grateful I am to serve such a mighty God who continues to bless my family year after year.
Do you have a Thanksgiving blessing you share each year with your family?

What a wonderful tradition, Jill! Something that I’m sure your children will cherish for many years to come! Just beautiful. Thank you sharing such a special part of your family’s life.
Many blessings,

Not only is that a wonderful reminder to be thankful for family, but actually that is a beautiful testimony to your guests and your hosts at Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing.
Having a journal with family members sharing their blessings at Thanksgiving is a great idea! I am from Jamaica but I have a lot to be thankful for – a great God who has helped me through challenging times, a wonderful family, nice friends, the ability to write and so much more. Take care and God Bless.
What a beautiful idea! I love the fact that it’s the same journal every year so you can look back on past blessings and even more that the journal travels with you:) Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea! I wish I’d have heard of it years ago, but at least we can get started now. Thank you for sharing!
We have a jar of popcorn kernels we add to every year as we share what we are thankful for. It’s fun to watch it grow.
Again, thanks for the terrific idea. Pinning!
Jill,
I found you at hearts for home today. I love this idea. We’ve nearly lost the art of handwriting, and while we try to articulate our gratitude, this is a unique and special way to treasure it. I think I’ll start one and mail it to family members whom I won’t be with for Thanksgiving.
What a beautiful idea and among my blessings for today.
Thank you.
Peace and good to you, in Jesus’ name.
Chelle,
I am so glad you are gong to start this wonderful keepsake. It will bless your family.
