Thanksgiving Day is actually still five days away; but, I'm, somewhat surprisingly, fairly prepared for it. I took care of cleaning and organizing the house; planned the menu; and bought the food. I even marinated the turkey, although, I'm a little concerned that I did it a little too early. This year, I decided to use a lemon rosemary marinade with garlic, olive oil, butter, and poultry seasoning. We'll see how it turns out....
The other items I have planned on my menu are beef stew, stuffing (I'm planning to make it with bread and corn bread), asparagus, green beans with fried onions, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin bread, corn soup, and Dutch Apple Pie. This year, I also plan on adding some orange and raisins in the cranberry sauce.
I now have time to focus on the true meaning of Thanksgiving, to have a grateful heart, and remember the abundant blessings from my Father in Heaven. I am reminded of one passage we studied in our current class series:
"That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever." (Psalm 30:12)
