A Day of Thanksgiving


Aahh, the savory aroma of ham wafting through the air with hints of sweet brown sugar! It must be Thanksgiving! The table is set with fresh baked sweet potatoes; mashed potatoes with a hint of garlic; green bean casserole topped with crispy, salty, onion-y goodness; yeast rolls and a side of gravy! 

Around the table is the blessing of family and warm eyes. So many blessings and so much to be grateful for.  I miss my boy but I know he's safe in God care as he travels the world with LCU's study abroad group. 

Today was a laid back day to enjoy the festivities of the Macy's Day Parade.  At Frankie's request we watched Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving Special. And when we had rested a bit from our big feast we enjoyed a sliver of cheesecake or two.  There may have been some napping in the late afternoon! 

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
