Happy Thanksgiving !
Thanksgiving is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of Americans. It is a time to kick back and relax, watch a football game or go to a movie, and enjoy a huge feast. It's also time for us to give thanks to our God, for the things he has bestowed upon us and upon this great nation. There is no nation in the world that has more to be thankful for than us.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Now thank we all our God,
With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom his world rejoices…
Johann Crüger
There is no pumpkin pie here at my house today but I do have lemon meringue and apple. Thanks to a fund raiser for two of my grandson’s, pie is on the menu. I do have a turkey breast roasting in the oven and plan to have some sweet potatoes and stuffing to go with it.
We had our big Thanksgiving feast last Saturday and that is when the pictures were taken that you are seeing today. We also had our annual mud football game that was played on the street. No mud this year. I hope your day is just as wonderful as the one we shared as a family.
It’s going to be a busy day as I’m decorating the house for the big day tomorrow. I think it should look like Christmas when you are decorating gingerbread houses.
One thing about celebrations is that you need to have food! It doesn’t have to be fancy at all but must include a little of that secret ingredient called LOVE.
I hope you all have GREAT day. Happy Thursday ! Happy Thanksgiving!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
One of life's gifts is that each of us, no matter how tired and downtrodden, finds reasons for thankfulness.
J. Robert Maskin
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3346. for turkey and the fixings, always good
3347. for families that get together, strengthening ties that bond us together
3348. for blessings that make us very thankful people
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER REQUEST
My daughter has once again asked for prayers for her SIL. The results of the tests last week show that this dear one has stage one breast cancer. A course of treatment has not yet been set, but she’ll soon know. May the dear Lord bless this much loved Sister in Law with healing and guide the hands of the doctors caring for her. We pray in all things Thy will be done Lord. Amen.
28 Days Until Christmas
America gives thanks today as Thanksgiving Day kicks off the holiday season. The days ahead will be busy ones so today, just enjoy being with your loved ones. Share with each other what you are thankful for and give praise for all you have.
Have a very blessed and Happy Thanksgiving !
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
William Arthur Ward
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

EVERY day is Thanksgiving at YOUR blog!!!
God bless you!
You inspired my post today!!
And I did a link to you, hope that is okay with you. :-)
Gotta say, your son (I forget which one!) in the first picture makes my heart smile every time I see his picture. Dare I say, he has that effect on everyone in real life? What a joy-full soul!
Sending up prayers for DD's SIL ... and, at the same time, thanks that we live in such a time where modern diagnostics can quickly identify - and arrest - that horrid disease.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Such great pictures of the celebration! Your dinner you made for yourself sounded yummy too!
