Happy Thanksgiving Week! Are you getting as excited about Turkey and Mashed Potatoes as I am? It is great to have a day set aside just to eat good food and be thankful to God. We are so blessed. Besides the food (and the fact that my house gets extra clean around the holidays), I love that I can open my door and welcome others in to sit at our table and share a meal!
I’m also VERY excited about the giveaway this week because it features one of my favorite DaySpring items, the Wooden Caddy! I love to entertain at home throughout the year and most of the time, we serve meals potluck style. This caddy is the perfect way to corral the silverware on the table and make it easy for guests to find what they need! Plus, it makes you look like the hostess with the mostess having something fun like this to hold your silverware on the table!
I keep my caddy out on a shelf all the time in my dining room! It is as decorative as it is functional so I don’t have to hide it away when I’m not entertaining. In fact, besides the obvious function as a silverware caddy, I’ve seen some very creative and useful ideas for this piece.
I noticed on the review link up in my last (in)spired deals post here Teri Lynne linked up her suggestions for the Top Ten Ways to Use a Silverware Caddy. She had some fabulous and very useful inspiration, including the idea to use it for remote controls (see her photo, above!)! Love that! The remote control caddy is just one of her many clever suggestions! Attractive, multi-purpose pieces like this caddy always come in handy!
The scripture on the front is one of my favorites:
Give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love. Psalm 107:8 NIV
The Wooden Caddy would make a wonderful gift and this week only it is on sale for $9!
We are giving away FIVE wooden caddy’s, one each to five winners, so leave a comment here sharing what you are thankful for this week! Five winners will be chosen at random and will be announced next Monday, the 28th!
….
Also, don’t miss out on DaySpring’s SUPER SALE this week! You will receive 30% off your entire order* with coupon code SUPER30!
* excludes Super Special Items (the Wooden Caddy as well as 13 other DaySpring favorites are up to 75% off!)

I am so thankful for a husband who tries his best to provide for our family and is humble enough to ask other strong Christian guys for input when he needs to make decisions and also talks kindly to me. For my 4 amazing kids who enjoy having me as their teacher every day. For friends and family to share life with. For a new to us minivan after our old one died. For my Savior who transforms me daily.

Julie Showalter says
I am thankful for God’s amazing grace! We certainly don’t live in a world that offers grace very often, but we serve a God who lavishes us with it. We are working on a song for our Christmas outreach that paints such a vivid picture of what the manger means in our lives … for our salvation. He gave us mercy we didn’t deserve and poured out His grace upon us. We are so privileged to live in a country where we can hear that truth on the radio and through the web. Thank You Lord for all those intangible blessings!
Susan says
I am thankful for the days I can be home to care for my family – such a blessing!

I am thankful for the quietness and the peace in my home this week. Much needed after the last couple of weeks. My house is quiet….. Three children sound asleep for afternoon naps……..The sweet smell of candles burning………. The tumbling sound of the dryer……… The sink overflowing with dishes ready to be washed in a sink full of warm water………. Finally we have stopped……. An afternoon of just being quiet and trying to regroup…… A much needed day………. Thank you so much God for all of these things, we are so blessed even in our tiredness.

I teach school in a small private school. This year I have my neighbor’s child in class. Yesterday, she texted me the sweetest message. She told me what a blessing I was to her and her boy; and she said dinner would be delivered that night. I cried. I’m so thankful to be thought of in such a way. I’ve taught 22 years, and that has never happened. God is gracious and humbles me with his love and the love of sisters in Christ.

Grace. Abundant grace.
Terri says
I am thankful for those things I can count on in, what is for me, a season of change. My family gatherings are shrinking as my children depart the nest. I already miss my nephew, who we lost this year, and won’t be joining us for the holidays. My dad is newly placed in a nursing care facility, as his Alzheimer’s has made it impossible for him to live at home with Mom.
What I am thankful for is God’s unfailing love that penetrates all of life’s joy and sorrow. I am thankful for His continuous grace that accepts me as I am because of Jesus’ holy work. I am thankful for ancient words that are the same over centuries and anchor me to God’s heart. I am thankful that these things do not change as my life changes.

He really does always work for our benefit!

Thankfulness is at the core of life. This year, having now lived one full year in Uruguay, my perspective on Thanksgiving is a little different, but it’s HUGE all the same:
I’m so thankful for a Saviour who wants to trade burdens with me. I’m thankful for a husband and children who have been oh, so patient with me throughout the emotional adjustments of living in a new culture. I’m thankful for the hundreds of people who support our ministry, making it possible for us to be here as church planters. I’m thankful for wonderful neighbours who have become friends. I’m thankful that the Lord has a plan, His timing is perfect, and that I can just keep making myself available to Him to use and trust Him to work out the details.
(Thanks for (in)courage and all the women who work to encourage me and so many others!)

Honestly, I’m thankful for this site and the posts I am reading today 🙂 I needed to get my focus back on the important things instead of the disappointments that are many… My children need me to set that example.

I am thankful for the love & blessings that God gives me everyday. I have a wonderful husband, two amazing children, a great extended family & many friends. I am especially thankful for two things this year. One – this past Monday, God brought my son through his 11th surgery that will hopefully restore his hearing. Two – I am so grateful to be spending this Thanksgiving with my husband – this time next year, he will be in Afghanistan. Counting my blessings!
Beth Williams says
I am thankful for soo many things–God, Jesus dying for my sins, hubby, Iguanas to name a few.
I keep a thankful journal and post in it daily. This helps me realize all that I have. A few more things that people may not think of are brain, eyes, ears, nose, mouth–basic body parts. God has so richly blessed all of us that it can be hard to list all of the blessings one has.
My journal is over 200 items daily. I keep a main list of the larger items, if you will, and add daily to what blessed me that day!
Susan Holbrook says
I am most grateful for my wonderful family—a husband who brings me such great joy and who supports all my ministry efforts. And–my two boys, who love the Lord and serve Him with all their hearts.
Mary M says
It’s impossible to mention only one thing to be thankful for, so I’ll mention many! I thank God for life, health, a warm home filled with love and family, the privilege of living in the U.S., my church family, friends too numerous to count, and the blessing of serving others. Most of all I’m thankful for Jesus and His willingness to lay down His life so that I could be forgiven.
Jan-Western Gal says
I’m so thankful for our wonderful world- freedom to worship our God. and, that all my family is now OK – we almost lost one but didn’t, thanks be to God.
Shannon says
I am thankful for realizing, while I’m sitting in my house feeling down because I’m “broke”, that I actually have a nice house to live in and all the bills are paid.
I’m thankful for realizing that although I’m VERY overweight and I need to get fit for health reasons, it means I have plenty of food and I am not starving.
I am thankful that my parents raised me TO BE THANKFUL – thankful for what I have, and to not be too worried about the things I don’t have.
Janine says
I am so thankful for Immanuel-God with us. I am thankful for fresh mercies daily. I am thankful for my husband and 3 little ones, and I am looking forward to a Thanksgiving spent in fellowship with friends!
Karen G. says
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! The one from whom all blessings flow…
Cheryl Sims says
This sounds really crazy but I am thankful that my husband lost his job and we sold our home 3 years ago because that has moved us closer to our children and grandchildren. We would never have had the many special moments of sharing with them if he had continued in his job 500 miles away from our loved ones. The Man above always knows our needs before we do!
I love the silverware caddy. Thanks for the chance to win.

Norma says
I’m thankful for salvation in Jesus, for my family, my home, all the bountiful and undeserved blessings God continually pours out on me, and His grace to forgive me when I all too often grumble about minor things!
And I love the caddy-I almost ordered it yesterday when I saw the big sale, but trying to avoid purchases that are not absolute necessities right now…after reading your post, I was reconsidering and now they are sold out 🙁 so I’d be especially thankful to win one!
Linda says

Sharon says
This week I am thankful for hope and a fresh perspective. I have had some challenging moments lately in my homeschooling journey. My 12 year old and I are adjusting to lots of new things that jr high brings, one of which is some harder classes with higher level content and more responsibilities. After pouring my heart out to my husband, he offered some valuable insight and very practical advice and then God put me together with a new friend who casually mentioned in conversation how her daughter uses the computer to do most of her school work. So, this week, my daughter did her science study guide on a word document and it was all smiles and happy hearts over here. Where before I was despairing a little about not knowing how to do this job of teaching my kids, God gave me a simple fix and peace in my heart. I am so thankful!!
Heather Conrad says
I LOVE this caddy! Even more, all the fun ideas to display it during the “in-between” times. My husband and I enjoy inviting others and creating a welcome atmosphere. My favorite aspect to watch is when others help themselves to items in my kitchen. We feel that our home is your home. It’s not ours anyway, we’re simply here to manage our blessings. Thanks for all that you’re doing to spread God’s word throughout our homes!
Jennifer Edwards says
I am thankful that we still have a house to live in and a WONDERFUL family to share it with!

Kirsten says
I’m thankful for a more positive outlook on life that God has given me over the past year. I am so blessed with a wonderful family, a great home, friends, financial stability, and so much more, & yet I tended to always find the faults, always see the glass half empty. God has really helped me change my heart attitude so that I can now see all the gifts He has given me & appreciate them, & for that I am so grateful because it has filled my life with so much more joy than I used to have.

alizabeth says
I am thankful for a few things right this moment. That my son is getting the care he needs in the hospital right now. For the super wonderful nurses who have been such a blessing all day and night, for my wonderful In-Laws who are caring for our other children while we are here with our youngest son. To know they are being cared for so well eases my mind to focus on getting him back to health so we can all be reunited. What a blessing my family and friends are…
Mary says
My family – especially my newborn son!
Wendy J says
So thankful for do-overs….
Tricia says
I am thankful that I wake up every morning with a chance to do things differently! Different from the day before. Growing into the women Christ desires me to be is a journey and so I get do overs! Praise Jesus, with Him we don’t remain the same!

I am thankful for my family, especially during this time of mourning the loss of my dad recently.
