Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we celebrate all good gifts that come from God, while we mourn the children we have loved and lost. It's a time of reflection, pondering, praying – and honestly – overindulging at the dinner table. Praise God we have been blessed with the ability to feed our family, that we have enough and to spare.

Here is our Thanksgiving menu:

2 turkeys – one to eat today, one for leftovers!

Stuffing (StoveTop with cranberries – we're not big stuffing fans)

Veggie Tray

Black Olives

Cran/raspberry Jell-O with cream cheese/whipped cream topping

Green bean casserole

Sweet potato souffle

Mashed potatoes (20 pounds worth!)

Homemade rolls

Gravy

Cranberry sauce

Cran/raspberry/pineapple/Sprite punch

Crock-pot chocolate cake

Razzleberry Satin pie

Pumpin pie and whipped cream

Homemade ice cream

Aah – I won't need to eat again for a day or two.

So blessed!

Oh my gosh that is a lot of food!! So good to hear that you were so blessed with such a bounteous feast! :) That in and of itself is such a huge blessing considering what so little many have in this world.... I am always so humbled when I prepare our thanksgiving meal......knowing that so many have so little.......we are truly blessed in this country!

Blessings,

we are VERY blessed to be able to eat such a variety of food and in such abundance. My children never go hungry, while kids in Africa don't even know what having a "favorite" food means. To them, "favorite" is whatever is in front of them that they can eat! I am also grateful that most of the food we had on Thursday came out of our food storage. :) That's true security.
