Excited to be preparing Thankgiving dinner here this year! :) It will be small, but I am excited to cook, have our house smell so yummy (like only turkey and stuffing can do), stay in comfy clothes and just relax and enjoy each other! :)<BR/><BR/>2. Wow, that's really tough. One Bible verse...hmmm.....I think I'll have to break the rules here! I'd have to say the entire Psalm 119. But if I have to narrow it down.... verse 16 "I delight in Your decrees; I will not neglect Your word." Each day as I open His Word, treasures spill forth! <BR/><BR/>I pray you and yours enjoy a savory, peaceful and restful Thanksgiving day! Let us know how your first turkey turns out! (I am using a turkey cooking bag...my girlfriend who is a chef said they turn out moist, brown and delicious!)Sharon Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578787930211780461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-70390757838426612392008-11-25T04:43:00.000-08:002008-11-25T04:43:00.000-08:00Hey Susan, as you already know Thanksgiving has al...Hey Susan, as you already know Thanksgiving has already come and gone North of the border. We celebrated up North at Muskoka Bible Conference Center with my side of the family. Our family cheated, and booked into the BIG THANKSGIVING DAY DINNER that is offered in the dining room and it was DELICIOUS!!!! This has been tradition for the past several years. The chef at MBC is AMAZING! The food is incredible! And...the best part? No mess for any of us to clean up! We just go for a nice long walk on the grounds together after we finish our meal. Ahhh.....memories....<BR/><BR/>As to my favourite verse....This year the Lord has had me focusing in on Hebrews 11 and He is writing His Word over my life, "By faith Joy...." He is calling me to new heights in Him and it's quite the journey.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you my friend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for your precious friendship!<BR/><BR/>Love & prayers,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-70990464835503952782008-11-24T20:56:00.000-08:002008-11-24T20:56:00.000-08:00Hey...Wanted to let you know that I'm sending you ...Hey...<BR/><BR/>Wanted to let you know that I'm sending you a copy of the book I'm giving away (from last post).

I am cooking a ham (my fam isn't fond of turkey),cornbread dressing, green bean bundles (green beans wrapped in bacon), funeral corn (I cream cheese corn dish I have taken to so many funeral meals at church we finally changed its name!), and cranberry sauce shaped like the can (that's what Cliff likes).<BR/><BR/>I kind of wanted to go to Cracker Barrel...but the boys vetoed that idea! :)<BR/><BR/>My verse..Ephesians 1:3-10LeeBird3https://www.blogger.com/profile/08007034372718549685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-20211055673801479052008-11-24T16:32:00.000-08:002008-11-24T16:32:00.000-08:00Thanksgiving has changed SO much over the years. ...Thanksgiving has changed SO much over the years. Long ago, I could easily attend four or more thanksgivings: Mom's side, step-dad's side, dad's side, step-mom's side. <BR/><BR/>Last two years, I just go to my mom's. There are about 13 there. It's so sweet, since my step-mom of 30 years passed away two years ago, my mom always invites my dad to holidays and birthday dinners. Dad is coming this year. Last year he went to my step-brothers. It's nice they have such a relationship they are friends. <BR/><BR/>When beloved was with me, we would do: my mom's, my dad's, his mom's, his dad's. It was hard and stressful but we managed doing it on different days. <BR/><BR/>I can't think of a favorite verse right now. I quote one and tend to not stop. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to look up Edie's and Yolonda's. <BR/><BR/>Don't stress over dinner: burnt, raw, or perfect, it doesn't really matter, huh? <BR/><BR/>We are having a pitch-in at work tomorrow and there was a mixed up on coordinating a turkey. I was, as always, thrown up in the middle of it and just tried to alleviate everyone's stress. I told them we'll have chicken and ham and if we have anything at all to eat, we are so lucky. Some of the masses of food we eat and see served just makes me feel so guilty, huh?<BR/>Love ya, Susan.<BR/>Have a thankful and great one.Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-85771234663967191442008-11-24T11:33:00.000-08:002008-11-24T11:33:00.000-08:00YOU HAVE NEVER COOKED A WHOLE TURKEY... you crack ...YOU HAVE NEVER COOKED A WHOLE TURKEY... you crack me up!!<BR/><BR/>All the miles we have shared on the trails and I barely know you :)Gotta Run.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647983887882662002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-29912741371404478242008-11-24T07:39:00.001-08:002008-11-24T07:39:00.001-08:00PS We will even do the dinner dishes :)PS We will even do the dinner dishes :)On Purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288128432071679901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-9418118309263038252008-11-24T07:39:00.000-08:002008-11-24T07:39:00.000-08:00This sounds very yummy..."can you squishy in 4 mor...This sounds very yummy..."can you squishy in 4 more spots at your table?"On Purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288128432071679901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-76774814459133501812008-11-24T06:34:00.000-08:002008-11-24T06:34:00.000-08:00We will spend Thanksgiving at our son's in Florida...We will spend Thanksgiving at our son's in Florida. <BR/><BR/>2 verses for me as I can't pick one over the other. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Jeremiah 1:5<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jeremiah 32:17<BR/><BR/><BR/>Happy THANKSGIVING!!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>YolandaYolandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728042597055536307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-56485286963033300902008-11-24T05:15:00.000-08:002008-11-24T05:15:00.000-08:00We'll have 24 at my house...and I hate entertainin...We'll have 24 at my house...and I hate entertaining - LOL!!!
