Thanksgiving Memories


Thanksgiving is coming soon! What do you and your family do on this special day?
This has always been one of my favorite holidays. Maybe it is because it doesn't involve any commercialism. It is just simply family and friends getting together to spend time together.
The traditional meal in our home has always been the following...
Roasted Turkey with Gravy
Sage Dressing with Giblets
Corn Pudding
Sweet Potato Casserole
Broccoli Casserole
Mashed Potatoes
Yeast Rolls
Pumpkin Roll
Pecan Pie with Whipped Cream
I love Thanksgiving. I have so many things to be thankful for in my life. My darling husband is number one! I am so thankful for him ! He is so sweet. God has has truly given me a darling man to take care of me and I thank Him so much for giving him to me. Of course my three beautiful daughters. They are so darling. Each one is so different and unique. Two of them live here with me and one lives in heaven with Jesus. I love them all "meeces to pieces"! I am thankful for my home, the warmth in the winter, the cool air in the summer.I am thankful for food on my table. I am also thankful for our jobs. I praise God for keeping each and everyone of us together and safe. He is so worth of our praise and thanksgiving!
This year we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with just our family. We had originally thought we were going to go out of town for the long weekend but we are unsure if we will be able to financially swing it. Even if we can't go away for the entire weekend....we will definitely go away for the day. Whether we are at home or away in the camper....we will still have our Thanksgiving dinner and we will still be spending our time together as a family.
Isn't it wonderful to celebrate a day that is all about just being thankful?
