The table is set and we are getting ready for our guests. The turkey will go in the oven about noon since we aren't eating until 4ish. I'll be trying the convection setting on our oven for the first time. (Hope nothing goes wrong!) The yams are boiling and will be ready to peel, slice, and put into a casserole sprinkled generously with butter and brown sugar and topped with marshmallows, then baked to perfection. That is a family favorite. Jamie is bringing pies, her Granny's buns and brussels sprouts. Linda is bringing whipped cream and cranberry sauce.
My Yorkshire dishes hold even more meaning this year after our walk along the Yorkshire Dales in September.
I saw these photos from 2017 and 2019 from our 'Grands' first Thanksgivings.
Addy's First Thanksgiving
JJ's first Thanksgiving.
Happy USA Thanksgiving Day!
Thanks be to God who gives us all good things to enjoy.
Thanks be to Jesus who died on the cross for our sins and made the way possible for forgiveness of those sins and peace with God.
Thanks be to the Holy Spirit who is with us teaching us and comforting us.
Truth for Today will resume next Thursday. I'll leave you with this benediction from the book of Hebrews.
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
