All Things Thanksgiving Week

11/20/2023 by Heidi

It’s a busy week for many, filled with travel to visit family or hosting loved ones at home. The demands and pressures of parenthood escalate during these times, but fear not! ABCJesusLovesMe has got you covered with fantastic resources and ideas to not just endure but flourish this holiday week. (Also learn how you can work for ABCJesusLovesMe!)

No More “Are we there yet?”

Make your holiday trip a little easier with the ABCJLM Road Trip Activity Workbook.  A collection of activities and games to keep the kiddos busy while building memories for the whole family.  

Here is a list of activities and games that you will find in the ABCJLM Family Vacation Activity Book.

Thanksgiving Psalm 107:1 Coloring Sheet

Did Someone Say “Family Coloring Contest?”

The Bible is filled with wonderful Scriptures of thanksgiving. Celebrate the holidays with these FREE printables to keep even the busiest hands occupied. To add little bit of healthy competition to your Thanksgiving, host a coloring contest for young and old. Or, adorn your home or classroom with gratitude-themed masterpieces.

Be Intentional Planner

Get a Jump Start on Your Christmas Shopping

Most all the teen to adult family/friends on my list know that they will be receiving the Be Intentional Planner for Christmas. And they expect it, because they love the simplicity, practicality, and intentionality of the small and large planners. At only $15, make your shopping easy by ordering for those on your list!

ABCJesusLovesMe Christmas Workbook

Christmas is quickly approaching! Don’t let these days slip away without purpose.

Happy Thanksgiving

As you get ready for Thanksgiving this week, I share with you a heartfelt poem penned by a dear woman in my life.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER

 Lord, teach us we pray
to love and praise you every day;
For every blessing is from above
pure and sweet as a gentle dove.

 Teach us always to do thy will
and when you speak to be still;
For You will lead and guide each day
 if we will seek thy face and pray.

 And may we at this time of year
realize your coming is near;
And spread the news throughout the land
and help to save our fellow man.

 So thank you for the blood you shed
to give us life though you were dead;
But rose again to set men free
to live in peace for eternity.

By Shirley McDonald

I pray that you flourish this Thanksgiving!
