The Rescues
I hope you found something useful in my post today. Please share your tips and tricks in the comment section!
At this time of year, it is very important to think about those less fortunate, or those who may be alone on Thanksgiving. Please add them to your prayer list or invite someone you know is alone to sit at your table. If you haven’t done it already, please drop off a few Thanksgiving dinner meal items to the local shelter today, it may seem like a last-minute thing to do, but they will never turn away a donation.
Consider making a dinner plate or pie for your elderly neighbor or someone who you know is alone. Or baking a pie to thank someone in your neighborhood who shoveled your sidewalk or mowed your lawn, etc. as a kindness.
Reminder- there will not be a TFT blog hop tomorrow. 😊 Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving xo
