So thanks for giving us kids so much, Mom and Dad.  We are truly blessed this Thanksgiving with your love.

We also observed a couple of other family traditions today.  We watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, and also watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

We worked out a menu; she’s cooking a twenty pound turkey along with dressing, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, green bean casserole, and pea salad.  Probably stuffed jalapenos for an appetizer.  I’m bringing sweet potato casserole, complete with brown sugar and the little melted marshmallows on top.  We’ve got to have bread, so add some dinner rolls and a pumpkin pie for dessert.

Whatever Thanksgiving meals we’re eating this week, we are grateful for these blessings of food and family. In these hard economic times, it’s good to reflect on what we have, whether it’s good food, good family or good fortune, and give Thanks to our Lord for our blessings.  That’s Thanksgiving.
