Turkey, Dressing and the Blessing

Seems just like a few weeks ago we were celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas. But it is hard to believe that it has been a year. Someone made the statement about how crazy my calendar looks. Ha... I can't help it, it always looks that crazy around the holidays.

We are just over a week away from Thanksgiving. I couldn't be more excited this year. My festivities start this Friday by making the annual trip to the airport to get my uncle who always comes home for Thanksgiving. It's funny how little things like a trip to the airport puts you in the holiday spirit. I will bake goodies for Thanksgiving. Which reminds me I need to make a trip to the grocery store.

The holidays are a time to spend with loved ones. To enjoy each others company, to reminisce, to catch up with each other. Most everyone has a tradition for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's always hard if something happens and you can't follow tradition. Everything then seems weird. haha... But it all happens for a reason.

This year I have noticed on Facebook that some people are telling one thing they are thankful for everyday. I thought about doing that but I have alot of catching up to do. I definitely wouldn't run out of things to be thankful for though.

What we should realize this Thanksgiving is that we should thank God everyday for not only the big things but the little things. The bad things and the good things. The silly things and the serious things. For EVERYTHING!

People tend to forget to say the blessing before eating the turkey and the dressing. But take time to say a blessing of the food but to Thank God for everything. Thanking God will result in blessings to you from Him. 

So eat that turkey and dressing but don't forget the blessing. I pray God's blessing upon you will shine a light into someone else's heart.

Remember what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving and Give Thanks to God.

Happy Thanksgiving  to All!
