Turkey Day Report

I'm a little late with our Turkey Day Report.

It was a great day with lots of friends and family enjoying food and more food at our house. We had all of the Jones, Turners, Caddells, and most of the Henley Family (Shelly & her group were in Dallas for the Holiday.) Truly, it was wonderful to have so many here to celebrate with us.

Once again, Brian cooked a wonderful Turkey that everyone enjoyed. The best part I think has to be all the great desserts! There were so many, it was hard to eat a piece of each of them, and you really wanted to eat all of them because they were so very good.

Here is a slide show of our pictures! Here's looking forward to next years' Turkey Day! One of my favorite holidays.

I know it is after the fact, but below is a Thanksgiving Day Prayer that I love and want to save for next year. Thanks for Lisa Hendey over at CatholicMom.com for posting it.

Heavenly Father,
This is the day set aside to give you thanks for your surpassing goodness to human beings. You have created us in your own image and set us over your wonderful creation. You chose a people to be your own and to carry your message of salvation to all people. You carried out your redemption in Jesus, your Son, and his saving fruits are passed on to every generation to all who believe that by his death and resurrection Jesus has given them a new freedom in his Spirit. Let me give you proper thanks for your blessings – those that I am aware of as well as those that I habitually take for granted. And let me learn to use them according to your will.
Amen
