As it is with many families, our Thanksgiving was a time to gather with family and friends and share the many aspects of God’s goodness to us. My daughter, Jody, and I started on Tuesday afternoon, planning the menu and then shopping and cooking. I lost count of the number of grocery store runs we made.

Wayne and I have an on-going “discussion” over which method tastes best: the deep fried turkey or the stuffed one I bake and tend with TLC. As a result, we cooked two turkeys! And while the dinner was one of our best, it was the time we took to reflect how very blessed we are with our family that will stay on our hearts. I hope your gatherings were equally memorable!
