Thanksgiving Day

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name.” (Psalms 100:4 NRSV)

Here is my Thanksgiving Day gratitude list–a turkey full of things and friends for which and for whom I am grateful. The turkey I drew is not quite large enough to accommodate all of the people who feed and nourish me.  I sure hope the one I bought to eat is large enough to feed and nourish all those who will sit at our table today.

Happy Thanksgiving and God’s Peace.

Thankful for Hospitality

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I just returned from ten days away from home.  My husband and I flew from Memphis to the West coast, to the west coast of Florida, and back to Memphis. It was a tiring trip, but it could have been a grueling one.  It was a wonderful trip, but it could have been just tolerable. Because of the hospitality, generosity, and tender-loving care of the people in my prayer below, we had a great trip and arrived home full of thanksgiving.
