Some more thoughts on the Thanksgiving time of the year

I recall visiting Williamsburg a long time ago that they explained turkey at that time was carefully cooked so the consistency was throughout rather than browning the outside (sounds pretty boring to me). I guess they may have had fish and other different items with their meals whatever was available.

Of course Canada has the event about a month earlier; likely due to the earlier harvest cycle.

This year I got a free turkey which wasn't too hard on the store card and credit accumulation. I think I was able to give it away last year and some earlier times since I moved back (as my mom couldn't handle the size and work of preparing a whole bird and opted for a breast instead). I hope the stuff doesn't spill out over the pan when I cook it; I may try to piecemeal it on the stovetop. We'll see...

To have the blessing of enough food; and a relatively safe quiet place to sleep at night I am more than grateful for; along with my friends such as Christine who drove by to pick up some groceries as I get over the rest of this congestion from the cold I had. Alas the Lord could take home His church at any time; perhaps before the end of this year. I pray all here no matter how good or bad their get togethers go can be a witness of the Lord through service toward others and character.

We are all family in Christ if saved and sanctified. I am sure others here are alone. I'm finding new fellowship well out of town when I can; and thankfully can listen online when I can't make it. Whether I find a place to stay out there is something to decide this spring or summer.

For now I will ask others to pray that I will find the best venue for preaching about the judgment to come. I want to encourage others here to be bold about their faith and unmoved by criticism within the church should the Lord be guiding you to speak up.

We don't need recognition of the world; but He knows who are His.

Maranatha.
