“Thanksgiving = Giving Thanks”

Nov 24th “Thanksgiving = Giving Thanks”

This is the big first, for Grandson Alan – all by himself – he baked this extra large and beautiful Turkey and as you can see – this is a very big and tender Turkey and that was not all! Alan went the extra mile – so to speak, he even brought several other side dishes that he prepared, all done up in an extra special way, enough to feed an ARMY!

It looks as if I am acting like the old “Julia Child” beside her guest “COOKS” on one of her old SHOWS – – pointing and giving her guests a few pointers – fingers going- all along with the mouth in motion, asking questions, “Did you do this and that – and what about this – was it done correctly according to be instructions in my BOOK, “Julia Child Cooks!”

Now that I am looking at this PHOTO – “I am wondering how some of the guests felt, when they were preparing food on Julia’s Show – did they think that they were in Kindergarten again, after all the many years of their cooking for hire, all over the Globe.”

“Thanksgiving” that word is backwards – it should be “Giving thanks” because at least this once a year week of “Thanksgiving” is really not enough – we should, give Thanks – everyday of our LIFE – and maybe every hour on the hour – as every minute of the day – we are receiving the BIG TIME GIFTS – from our Almighty Creator! Without our Creator – we would be nothing and therefore, needing nothing!

Never let a full DAY go by – without giving our Creator, “THANKS” – and while we are doing that – give several people we know and or meet with each day, a very cheerful THANKS – with all the gusto and mustered up with some LOVE – giving them them a hug about the neck, and a small pat on the backside – just to let them know – you are sending LOVE from Heaven above to them – and also remember – what you give to others – you receive from the Almighty – by the bucketfuls – if, I say so myself!
