A Grateful Heart

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." Psalm 107:1

Thanksgiving is over but the feast lingers on! How grateful we are for our family, friends, church, and home, and the freedom to gather together in celebration and fun.  Our dinner included all the classics, as seen on my plate above and a full spread of desserts that included carrot cake, pumpkin pie, chocolate cream pie, and a pumpkin cheese cake with gingersnap pecan crust topped with a caramel drizzle.  Can you say, "sugar?"



Our daughter, her husband, granddaughter Greta, two friends, my sister and her daughter all gathered with my husband and me to give thanks. We had such a good time laughing and loving, catching up on each other's lives and playing Thanksgiving games that included tickling every one's memories for the most obscure facts about Thanksgiving and turkeys.  The winners got to wear the much coveted, festive feathered hats for the remainder of the evening. Here are are the band of winners:
It has been a difficult year for many who gathered around our table, but we embrace the time to remember the many blessings that overflow along the way. Yeah God!
