Thanksgiving wishes for all!


My thanks to Mr. Norman Rockwell for his wonderful talent in painting the essence of Thanksgiving. I want to wish all my friends and readers a most blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving. This is the day that we in the US pause to thank Papa for all the marvelous blessings He's given us. We are free to worship as we wish, to gather together in groups to share our blessings with each other, to celebrate our successes in our own way, to pray to YHWH in our own ways, to express our love for each other in our own ways, and to live in this country where we can pursue our own ideas of happiness freely. This is a day when all business usually closes (except hospitals, fire departments and police stations of course), families gather together and share love, food and fellowship.  It's a grand and wonderful holiday....although there's really nothing holy about it...except we're to be thanking Papa. But it works for us.

So as we all gather together, eat entirely too much food, watch football games or play our own family games, and enjoy making wonderful memories together, I want each of  you to know I count you among my blessings. Papa has blessed me with some of the best friends in the entire world and I am SO thankful for each and every one of you. The blessings you've given me as you share parts of yourselves and your lives with me are so precious and dear to me. Often your examples of Yeshua's love to me have brought tears to my eyes. I thank Papa for blessing me with your friendships-whether close, sharing food together type friendships or over the internet only type friendships-each one has made my life richer for you being in it. May Papa give you the best of His blessings not only this day, but each of your days here on this planet. I love you each and can hardly believe how gifted I've been by having you in my life. Mozel Tov! (Happy Celebration) and Happy Thanksgiving to you each. Shalom, Spitfire

I certainly hope you had a great and "filling" holiday! We're STILL eating leftovers - pop is having turkey salad sandwiches and pie in his lunch tomorrow - this evening we had cornbread/sausage stuffing with gravy and cranberry sauce for supper - I WANT A STEAK!

We had a teen shoot his first deer at our place this morning - an eight pointer - he was pretty thrilled and none of it will go to waste - they're giving us a 1/4 which will promptly be made into jerky.

It was a blessing in disguise as the deer had apparently been shot before - IN ONE OF ITS EYES! So it had been struggling just to maintain its place in the food chain.

MAZEL TOV AND SHALOM!
