Thanksgiving 2021

Been chilly!

Thanksgiving day preparations - putting the turkeys into the brine.

Last day of school on Wednesday. It's hard to keep them focused with this kitten. LOL!

Made a lot of deviled eggs to enjoy!

Thanksgiving morning - I was up at 5am to prep my turkey. Above.

Then Eric prepped his.

I don't know exactly what happened to my turkey. But yeah, it nearly fell off the bones. I haven't baked a turkey in years. I guess I need more practice. LOL! It still tasted good and was very moist.

Eric's turkey had a much better presentation. LOL! And was delicious as always.

Adam and Rachel hosted Thanksgiving meal at their home. It was their family, ours, and two families from our church - the Beigles and the Cisneros. 19 total.

Rachel and Kylee made these cute desserts for the kids - Indian tepees.

And Pilgrim hats.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
