Hello, friends!
If you're in the U.S., you know that today is Veteran's Day. If you're like me, there are some special veterans in your life. Here's my favorite:
That's my son Will, who is a pilot with the U.S. Navy. Actually, Will is still on active duty, and he was deployed when his son was born. Seeing the sacrifices Will and his family make has made me even more appreciative of the men and women who serve in our armed forces, so this day when we pause to appreciate all veterans means a lot to me.
Today I'm happy to share with you some highlights from the last Grace at Home party.
Thanksgiving is approaching! If you're planning to host Thanksgiving dinner this year (I am, praise God!), you might like these ideas for decorating.
Ann from Ann's Entitled Life made a silk flower swag for a lantern, and she gives step-by-step directions for making your own.
MaryJo from MasterPIECES of My Life shows how you can make a beautiful centerpiece for any season just but filling a wooden bowl.
Planning a road trip for Thanksgiving? If you have little children, you'll appreciate this post from Dave and Jamie of PhotoJeepers.
Would you like to incorporate some lighter fare into your Thanksgiving dinner this year? Jennifer from Wanderlust and Wellness shares a beautiful spinach salad recipe that looks just right for the Thanksgiving table!
As Thanksgiving approaches this year, most of us are seeing many more people than we were at this time last year. I was challenged and encouraged by this post from Amy at Wasteland to Graceland: As One Who Has Received Grace, Am I Living a Life of Grace?
And on a very practical note, Michele Morin from Living Our Days shares a simple way to hit our "mental reset button."
Thank you to everyone who linked up!

Whatever you do to make your home or sphere of influence a place of grace, I'd like to hear about it. Here's what I ask of you. Please include the permalink to your post, not your blog's home page.

Good morning, Richella. I have a favorite veteran, too, but I'm so thankful for all of our veterans! Your little grandson looks just like his daddy, by the way! Such a cutie! Thanks for hosting and have a great rest of the week. Blessings!

ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to believe we're 1/3 of the way through November already. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it.

Please thank Will for me for serving our great country.
ReplyDeleteHaving a son in the military makes all this just a bit more real, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting each month. My son served in the military for 10 years so I know what it's like having him gone. Please thank Will for his service.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the party Richella. Our thanks to Will and all of you for your service. When one person in the family is active military, it is really the whole family serving. The families sacrifice so much as well. I wish you all a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday!
ReplyDeleteOh my--your son and his sweet baby! So thankful for sacrifices made by those who serve us!
