Excited to join in with
Thanksgiving recipe exchange.
I try each Thanksgiving to cook things my
Mom and Grandmother once cooked for us.
For the life of me I don't know how they did what they did,
so many things to choose from for Thanksgiving Lunch,
then so many wonderful desserts.
We have a "Traditional Thanksgiving Meal"
including Turkey & Dressing, but I have learned to
start way ahead of time with casseroles and desserts
by freezing these starting in October each year.
Then on Thanksgiving Day I don't end up 'cooking'
all day but just bake and serve
and enjoy being with family.
Christy is kind to bring one of her
Dad's favorites each year,
Deviled Eggs, but other than that I try
my best to 'be like Mom & Grandma' and do the rest myself.
I am so very thankful for the traditions they started and
thankful they allowed me in the kitchen while growing up,
watching and listening to their 'tried and true' baking secrets.
So thankful for 'family' and so thankful Thanksgiving is
right around the corner so I can
see loved ones I haven't seen in a while.
Hope you enjoy the recipes shared this week at
Kelly's Korner
and hope you'll give this recipe a try, it is delicious!

Another Thanksgiving Tradition
last year was her making a
"Thankful Tree" and
bringing it on Thanksgiving Day so
each of us could write on
a 'leaf' cut with Fall colored construction paper.
The Thankful Tree was a
branch cut off of a real tree and placed
in a metal pail then secured with rocks.
During the entire day of Thanksgiving when we
would think of something we were thankful for,
we'd write on a leaf and place it on the tree.
By the end of the day the tree was covered in
messages of "Thankfulness".
I saved ours and will use it again this year and
we can reflect on things we were thankful for this
special time last year.
I look forward to adding
'thankful' notes to the tree this year!

"Ourselves also, which have the first fruits
of the Spirit." -Romans 8:23
But the first fruits were not the harvest,
and the works of the Spirit in us at this moment,
are not the consummation - the perfection is yet to come.
We must not boast that we have attained,
and so reckon the wave-sheaf to be all the produce
of the year: we must hunger and thirst after
righteousness, and pant for the day of
full redemption. Dear reader, this day open
your heart wide, and God will fill it.
Groan within yourself for higher
degrees of consecration,
and your Lord will grant them to you,
for He is able to do exceeding abundantly above
what we ask, or even think.
November 6 - Daily Help - Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon
