Thanksgiving Celebration -

Hey friends! Here is the Thanksgiving/blog two-year celebration post, all in one. Thank you so much to all my readers who contributed photos for this special post, and a huge thank you to everyone who takes the time to read Upheld by His Grace. It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since I started this website. I truly love getting to share life with you all and the little community we’ve built here.

As I write this, I’m enjoying the smells of the turkey we’re cooking and the candle I’m burning. And the gentle guitar CD of Thanksgiving hymns that I have on right now. Soon fall will be over, and we’ll be full swing into the holiday season. Already we’ve had snow flurries and our temperatures are dipping lower each week. Now is the time to get cozy and think about how we can make our homes a place of rest and beauty. I’d love to hear your tips below in the comments. What is your favorite way to bring beauty and coziness into your home during the winter season?

But for today, we’ll enjoy these beautiful fall photos sent in by my readers. It was so much fun to receive everyone’s lovely photos and get a glimpse of fall in different parts of North America. Hope you enjoy! Also, be sure to scroll to the end; I have a free printable for you with an inspirational quote.

Above and right: from Beth and Brad—New York

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 103:1-5
