I love November. It's the tail end of fall, yet there are still vibrant colors everywhere. It is also the month of giving thanks, and counting our blessings. For me, it's important to pause the every day hustle and bustle to carve a heart of thanksgiving for all that God is doing in our life. Doing so gives me a renewed perspective on the upcoming new year.
While reading "One Big Turkey" to Evie Grace, courtesy of Tommy Nelson Mommies, I realized that while my girls may be young, now is the time to start instilling a heart of gratitude. I loved how the rhythmic story line not only teaches counting skills, but they gently intertwined a theme of thanksgiving. It was perfectly suited for toddler ages, and even early elementary ages.

i'm thankful for the Holy Spirit's working in my husband's heart! we've been dealing w/ infertility for 6 yrs. now, & while adoption was on my heart, it took a little longer for my honey to get to that place. praise the Lord, He has moved, & we're going to pursue adoption &/or foster care, so this book would be a great way to prepare for the little one! thanks for this giveaway!
