I know!! It is a touch early to be wishing y’all a very happy Thanksgiving BUT this next week will be a tad-bit busy for me… So, I figured, sooner is better than never! 😉 To each and every one of you, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! 🦃✨ I pray this time of celebration is filled to the brim and overflowing with goodness as you count your blessings, GIVE THANKS to the Lord, and enjoy your families.🧡 As we take the week to bake up a delicious assortment of pies and prepare the Thanksgiving Turkeys let’s recall the goodness of the Lord toward us and speak of His faithfulness to all we see! In every second of every day, He loads us with blessings and benefits that cannot be numbered. I am reminded of Ps 31:19 as it says, “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!” The Lord God is so very good and worthy of our praise. May we truly GIVE THANKS with grateful hearts!🙌🏻🍂
QUESTIONS:
1.) Share 3 Thanksgivings
2.) What is YOUR favorite Thanksgiving Dish?
3.) How will you be spending your Thanksgiving?
My Thanksgivings:
1.) My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the salvation that is only found through HIM! “He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.” Psalm 55:18
2.) My family! I cannot begin to express what a blessing they are to me. They show such mercy and grace each and every day! They point me to The Lord, calling me higher as they encourage me onward and upward. God has been so gracious to give them to me!! 🙌🏻🧡 “And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works” Hebrews 10:24
3.) YOU! My blogging friends. Your faithful encouragement and friendship is a sweet gift and I thank the Lord for you! “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you” Phil 1:3
“O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy”
Psalm 107:1-2
My 3 Thanksgivings- #1 The Lord’s faithfulness to me throughout the years despite my failures. #2 My fiance and his continually reminders to go to Christ first! #3 My Family of 13 who has put up with me the last 20yrs🤪
Favorite Thanksgiving dish- Stuffing (cornbread) with sage and butter😋 (no celery)
How I will be spending my Thanksgiving- This is actually a crazy year for us. I’ll be getting married the 26th of this month, so we will have all the family, my fiance, and another family of 8 at our house! We’ll probably cook a large meal, and sit around fellowshipping, putting together puzzles, playing games, and eating lots of turkey and pies😊 and picking up my fourth bridesmaid from the airport!!
And just to throw in, my favorite pie for Thanksgiving is Cherry 🍒
God has been so good this year, like every year! And I look forward to seeing what He does this next year!!
Thank you Rachel for posting early! Blessings to your family this Thanksgiving!!

This is what I shared with my church family this afternoon: Psalm 107:1-3
“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.” (The Word of God says He sets the solitary in families and brings out those which are bound with chains! Psalm 68:6. I’m so thankful for my salvation and the church where He planted me 38 years ago!)
1. I’m thankful for my Lord and Savior! Without Him I would be existing in rebellion until I dropped into hell.
2. I’m thankful for my church and brethren in the Lord. I am blessed by my extended Christian family, which includes you, Rachel.
3. I’m thankful for health and the ability to get warm when it’s cold, a roof over my head, peace of mind and heart, enough food to eat, and the joy of serving and praising the Lord!
I think my favorite Thanksgiving food is turkey, though I love the blended tastes of all the traditional foods!
My Thanksgiving was today at church. I look forward to it every year. What a blessed time!!
Sheri!! I love what you shared from Psalm 107!! That is one of my (many) favorite chapters.🤗♥️🍁 And I love all of your thanksgivings! “the joy of serving and praising the Lord” amen!!!
So thankful you had that time with your church family! Happy Thanksgiving, Sheri!!!🦃
Thank you, Rachel! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
3 Thanksgivings of mine today are…
That a very special friend of ours from Ohio was able to come and visit for a day or so this weekend that we haven’t gotten to see in a long time!🥳 We had such a fun time!😁
For our amazing,and so kind and caring and generous godly neighbors!! 🥰
And for the amazing Church that we get to attend every week! 😁
My favorite thanksgiving dish would probably be our fruit salad.😂 I just love me some fruit, and while I enjoy the other dishes as well, they’re a little rich for me. 🙃
We’ll be spending Thanksgiving by ourselves playing games, eating,etc, though our Church had a thanksgiving meal last night and we were able to go to that, which was very lovely. 🥰
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family,Rachel!!🥰 May it be a blessed time together!😁
Love your thanksgivings and your favorite Thanksgiving dish, Caroline!!! 😃🥰🍇 I hope you enjoy the day spent with family immensely!!🙋🏼♀️
