1 Thessalonians 5:18
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
King James Version
Good morning everyone, or the time you are able to read this blog. I do hope and pray that you all will be able to enjoy your day!
This 2019, as we get to the “Turkey Day” we will gather our loved ones together at the table and enjoy a good meal. Yes , it is not a Christian holiday, but to those of us who are one we make it so by giving thanks to our GOD in unity with our friends and family. Food is used as sort of like a bonding and enjoyment to the celebration.
But we all know we should give thanks to our beloved FATHER GOD for all of the blessings he has given us our whole life long each and every single day of life.
GOD is good, loving and patient.
For those of you who are able to be with your family in a nice warm home, in clean clothes, good health and a good paying job you are thankful but do not realize just how blessed you are. There are so many places where people are suffering . Not just AFRICA as some people will be quick to say off the top of their heads, but this is ALL over the world were people suffer.
You can walk down the streets of Manhattan New York on 5th ave and see homeless people or ride the subways. These people are still someones child, mother, father, brother, sister, relative or friend. So to walk by and disrespect a person when they are down is not GODLY. We should do what we can to help in the GODLY way for people, not just during the holiday seasons, but all seasons do people need help.
I would love to one day , GOD willing to have a shelter for women and children separately for the single moms, one for single men alone, and one for families so they are not separated or broken up. Such as the dad sent to another location from the wife and children.
Let us count our blessings. I bet you can count up to about 100 if you took the time to do so. Once we do let us thank GOD for those we remember and for those we have forgotten too.
I am so grateful to be able to share my love of GOD with you all as one of my blessings!

The one thing I didn’t make from scratch beside the stuffing was the iced Arizona Zero Green tea. All of the main meal I made , except for the tea. I suppose it was not challenging enough for me to make! LOL! But I do happen to like this brand of tea. All pictures of the food are mine as I was getting the meal done. I will share the recipe if enough of you ask.
Psalms 100:4
“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”

Let us all pray for all of the people we know and don’t know. For we do not know what situations they are in at this time. Some people are quite about what they are going through for not wanting to let others know for pride or whatever regarding if they need help in getting food. Share what you can and feel that the LORD is compelling you to do. Not what any person will demand that you do, listen to GOD and he will aim you in the direction you need to be to help someone.
Praise and glory be to GOD now and forever and all of eternity long. Have a safe, blessed, happy thanks giving . Please pass this blog post forward to others so they can be blessed as well too.
Peace!!!
