Thanksgiving Gratitude Banner

By Lorraine

Visiting a blog with the cute name of The Answer Is Chocolate,  I found a banner perfect for Thanksgiving.  My banner is very similar to the instructions Carol provided on her blog and was easy to make with what I had on hand.

Little wooden clothes pins are embellished and used to hold each letter in place for hanging.

I kept the edges straight but Carol used her Cricut to cut out a scalloped edge on the patterned paper that looks very nice.

Since I did not have the pretty Tulle as the one I copied, I used cotton yarn and just crocheted a long chain. 

A quick search turned up these quotes on gratitude:

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.  Have you used one to say “thank you?”  ~William A. Ward

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.  No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.  ~H.U. Westermayer

Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.  ~G.B. Stern

There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed.  If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude.  ~Robert Braul

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time.  Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?  ~G.K. Chesterton

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.  ~John E. Southard

The unthankful heart… discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!  ~Henry Ward Beecher   

Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal.  It’s a way to live.  ~Attributed to Jacqueline Winspear

Who does not thank for little will not thank for much.  ~Estonian Proverb

When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?  ~George Canning
     

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe…
Hebrews 12:28 NASB

    What a beautiful job you did! Sorry I have not stopped by in awhile. I have been ignoring my google reader as I have been working on getting some priorities straightened out. It is great to see what you've been up to, though. Have a beautiful week! Keep encouraged!

    What a lovely banner. It looks so good against your curtain.

    I was so touched by all of the gratitude quotes. We take time every night after we read scriptures as a family to say 3 things we are grateful for. It really helps us think and express gratitude from a good meal, to a wonderful happening, to each other.
