Part A: Share at least 3 “Bountiful Blessings” that the Lord has abundantly provided.
1. I am thankful to know God! Who He is and His name is Jesus!
2. I am thankful for my parents who taught me to know God for myself. And also for the legacy of love they have given me. Love of God, Love of His Word and Love of Life. "I have found him who my soul loveth and I held him, I will not let Him go!" (Paraphrased big time-)
Song of Solomon 3:4
3. I am thankful for my husband and my children. I am thankful that I have a family that I can this wonderful legacy of love to and for my husband who gladly shares in the passing of it.
4. I am thankful for good friends who also share in the legacy of love.
Part B: Share your Thanksgiving Feast {past or present} You may use Photos, menus, recipes, activities, traditions…Be creative! –”Who carves the turky?”, “Do you save the wishbone?”, “What do you serve for dessert?”, “Who hosts the Thanksgiving dinner in your family” ….my favorite…”What do you do with all those leftovers?”
Ummmmm, lets see. Normally on Thanksgiving, we will celebrate with my parents or my husband's. If we are with my parents, then we normally have a big turkey, which my dad carves. My mom will make stuffing to go with it along with candid yams, collard, mustard and turnip greens, mac & cheese, cranberry sauce, and rolls. Then my dad makes cakes- a lot of them! We try to save the wishbone for the kids. We keep eating leftovers until they are gone- which generally takes until Sunday.
Part C: Post a Scripture that reminds you of your blessings!
1Chronciles 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
What a great Scripture passage to share. God is good all the time!!!

Your menu sounds identical to ours, except I prefer beef short ribs over turkey. Enjoy!

Love the blog. I'll be adding it to my friends list soon. Stop by for a visit if you have a chance. It seems that our kids are around the same ages, and between this year and last year we are studying some similar things. BTW, your kids are adorable.
