My brain is full

My brain is full-

Thanksgiving is this week, how is it Thanksgiving already?

I think I got all our food bought yesterday, our menu on Thursday

for our family Thanksgiving will be:

Turkey

Mashed Potatoes

Gravy

Cornbread Stuffing

Cranberry Jello

Corn

Cranberry Bread

Apple and Pumpkin Pie

 

We always have a Thanksgiving with just our kids,

we use the good dishes and eat a fancy meal, and it's always fun.

Aren't cardinals in the snow so pretty?  I love their cheery redness.

We got Miss E's allergy test results back.  She doesn't have any

seasonal or indoor/outdoor allergies, but she is allergic to eggs

and is a little bit allergic to milk and soy.  So we are taking out the

eggs for a few weeks to see if it helps.  So far her poor little nose

is still running, but maybe not quite as much.  I'm thankful we at

least have some answers.

Doesn't this old church look so peaceful?  It's the church that the

family who built our stone house attended 100 years ago.

Unfortunately, life isn't usually this peaceful.  We hurt each

other, we ache for those who are hurt, and we live with the

effects of sin daily.  Makes me long for heaven.

See to it that no one misses the grace of God

and that no bitter root grows up

to cause trouble and defile many.

Hebrews 12:15
