The Gift Of Giving Thanks – Thematic Attic with Diane and Jon
Please send us a Heart if you LIKE this blog
Share with us the special ways
You give thanks from your heart!
What gift do you give back?
Gift cards or something a bit more special?
The gift of a Holiday Center piece perhaps
To add a smile and show love?
Or maybe you give “Homemade” items for all to enjoy!
Those baked and canned goodies that tell all
How much you care!
Or maybe sharing pictures with family and friends
This is sure to bring smiles again and again!
A kind word or a warm hug is truly a gift worth sharing!
Or maybe you donate items for the needy
Or buy a gift for a “Giving Tree”
Or collect blankets or coats for the poor
Or spend time with the elderly
Maybe even help serve up some meals…
Or maybe you would rather make
A phone call to say I love you..
Or I was thinking of you:)
Or maybe for the first time…

Giving Thanks
I wish to share this with you’
Not really a poem but, is true
Back in 1979 my daughter just turned two
Her father was in an auto accident November 19th’
It was a poor Thanksgiving and Christmas, too
For we did not know where we were going to get income from
We were blessed about two month later to find out he had insurance’
Disablitly insurance that paid him until Social Security disability kicked in
but at Thanksgiving and Christmas we did not know yet
Did get a turkey and a bunch of food
His boss had delivered to our home
But, it made me realize many do not have
So, what could I do to help others
My daughter and I got out a big box’
We puts everything in it from coats, clothes, blankets, food
She even tried to put her own blankie:)
I had a close friend that delivered boxes to the needy each year
I called her and asked if she could pick this one up from us
She did and wanted to know if I would like to go with her
I would had loved to but, with husband in bed could not
Not to mention if I knew where ones lived
I would be taking things all year though
Probably giving things I needed to keep but, would rather they have
A Special , Very Special Holiday of Thanks this made
Not to mention a memorable one at that
For we do not realize how much we have and do not use
If ones would just go though be amazed at all they could share
Thanksful for everyone here
LovePeace~Blessings with prayers, always in heart for each of you
To you and your family:) :love: :love: :love: :love:
Hi Diane and Jon! Wonderful blog…will be back later with something! I hope! 😆 Happy thanksgiving to you…we have already had our thanksgiving in Canada, but for me every day is a day for giving and being thankful, so special days don’t make a lot of difference to me! 🙂 Much love! :love:
I will check in tomorrow My new ones have me on toes and long hours..Grateful for just, not enough hrs. in the day or nights:).Give selves a warm hugs..Thankful for each of you more than you can imagine..Always smiles, with love and prayers, shared..in heart :love: :love: :love: :love:
I’ll get a fat lip and you’ll get a shiner
When we fight over turkey bobbin’
In the deep fat fryer.
Corn on the cob picked that mornin’
Bathed in farm fresh butter
Straight from the udder!
Mashed potatoes and stuffing a swimmin’ in gravy,
Cranberry, cauliflower and carrots,
In case that all sounds too heavy.
Sweet potato, peach, pumkin, and cherry,
The pie table waits
For those who’ll still be able.
After choosing our teams we all go to snoozin’
The football game’s on and my team is losing
We’ll all wake up once the game’s over..
And You’ll get the fat lip and I’ll get the shiner!
To be thankful is to be grateful .
I feel my heart giving all year around.
I help the abused.
I feed the homeless.
I help the elders.
I help the children.
I give gifts all year around.
Fairy blessing I call this.
In my years I have found when I need something it comes back around,
So I do ten times more to make up for the blessing I receive .
Since I was little I stuck my hand out to be a friend.
that’s when my helping hand started.
It makes me think how thankful I am.
Grateful for the blessing I receive .
I know karma can be good or bad.
So I choose to give instead of get.
I’m thankful for my heart.
Even though sometimes it gets used and tore apart.
It’s better to keep on trying the best I can to help.
I think I could do a little each day if I would just try to think how thankful I truly am.
There is always someone needing a helping hand.
This time it was me.
So I owe so big.
And I am so thankful for there helping hand.

This Holiday
by April~Lady Kira
This Holiday
Too often we take for granted the things we’ve been given
emotions, talents, senses, children, financial means,
the food we eat, the clothes we wear
all of these are meant to share
A song, a prayer, a helping hand
we all should help when we can.
We give thanks in many ways
Let’s give back this holiday.
If one is suffering or needs repair
it is our place to give comfort there.
The things we do may not seem like much
never know who’s lives they touch
We give thanks in many ways
Let’s give back this holiday.
It’s easy to walk on bye
turn our head, avert our eyes
put yourself in others shoes
how would it be if that were you
knowing some saw you but didn’t care
judging by the clothes you wear.
We give thanks in many ways
Let’s give back this holiday.
n this season when Love abounds
friends and family gather round
instead of asking what will I get
help someone else, without regret
show what Love is all about
help another sing and shout
We give thanks in many ways
Let’s give back this holiday.

SHARING AND GIVING
Sharin love
On any occasion
Is beautiful in any case
Yet to share a meal
And say thanks
For being
Able to share it
With others
Is a much
I thank god
Every day
Just
To be able to
Put one foot in front of the other
Caring for my child for the past seventeen years
I pretty much gittin to me but I hold on to thoughts of
Could not have had her at all yet she lives and I thank god many times over
Sharin
And giving
Is all I know of
And its not the givin back that I expect
For I know that I am loved by some one even now
After all that I have been though over the years of long ago
Some body some where loves me for just me
And I am thankful for just that
Love is all
That I have to give
And I give it freely to all
Even If I have not even laid eyes on most
I will but always give my all and me best even
If it means that I do without I am willin to always
Sharin the love
And givin of my heart
Prayin every day that I am worthy
Givin thanks each and every day just to see another …. Thank you !!!!!!
