Thanksgiving 2007

Whatever the actual history of the first Thanksgiving is or is not is not really that important to me. What Thanksgiving means to me is to be thankful for the overall good fortune in my life and all of the blessings God has bestowed upon me in my 38+ years of living.

Psalm 95 (NKJV)
A Call to Worship and Obedience

1 Oh come, let us sing to the LORD!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

3 For the LORD is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.

4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.

5 The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

7 For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand.

V, M and I had an excellent Thanksgiving. It was a truly leisurely day. We had the traditional turkey with stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, asparagus, and dinner rolls. To top it off we had the choice of blueberry or pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

Sitting at the table here were my parents, my brother A, younger sister C, my nephew D, V, M and myself.

It took my mom all day to prepare the meal and all of 30 minutes for us to devour
it. That turkey was so good that it all but melted in the mouth. Mmmmm.

Here's a dumb Thanksgiving joke that I saw on a sign in Nashua this week:


Why did the policeman arrest the turkey?












Because the turkey was suspected of fowl play....

Did you all have a relaxing Thanksgiving?

What did you do? Did you spend it with family or friends?

Did you have the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner?

Did you take a tryptophan induced nap?

Did you watch some NFL football on television?

Do you have Friday off or do you have to go back to work?
