Hopefully we all remember to say a little thank you every day for the many blessed moments we are given but isn't it wonderful to have a special day set aside to gather with family and friends and do it in fine style with lots of delicious food. I'm baking a whole squash today which is
something I've never done before so may the force be with me! And I'm trying a dressing you can make in the microwave since my oven is pretty small and won't hold everything. I love Thanksgiving Day because there's no gifts ,just a time to look into the faces of our loved ones and see their uniqueness and goodness and feel the joy and gratitude in our hearts for each and everyone of them . And to feel the presence of those we love so dearly who have gone on to our Heavenly Home before us . To light a candle of love and remembrance for all departed and for the love that surrounds us in the presen
A time to thank the earth for all that it gives us .Thanks for the bounty of harvest .The crisp ,fresh clean air .The bubbling streams and brooks .The gifts from the oceans .
As I was reading a magazine yesterday it featured several people sharing what they were most thankful for and my heart was warmed to read that no one was thankful for their stuff. Fancy big cars ,gorgeous big houses ,boats or motorcycles never even registered on the thankgiving scale.But what did was family,loyal friends ,illnesses that made a person take stock of what `s really important in life , a beautiful view form a window, and pets to love. Do you think it could be possible that we`re finally getting it and realizing that the big paying job,the toys, the designer clothes, the trips round the world, the sparkling diamonds, the fifteen room homes,the gas guzzling vehicles don`t mean squat when it comes to health ,the love of family and friends,fellowship,spirituality,being able to help and give to others , and community.
I am thankful today especially for a woodshed with wood ,a lovely day, watching my beloved daughter sweep the floor before the rest of the family arrives,the smell of the turkey roasting in the oven,those I call friends ,being able to look out at the water every day ,the birds that are congregating at the feeders, and having a Heavenly Father to help me every day .
This is the day that the Lord hath made ; Rejoice and be glad !
Hapy Thankgiving to all!
