turkey truths

"And be thankful." Colossians 3:15

It's a hot job, but someone has to do it... and i'm so thankful it's me.

So far, this year i've cooked over 100 turkeys for Thanksgiving...not nice, plump turkeys, mind you, but the one-dimensional kind.  It's a kindergarten tradition, painting thankful turkeys and then cooking them in the laminator for holiday placemats.  

The best part of cooking these school-yard turkeys is having the opportunity to read the sweet messages and thoughts from the students.  I'm reminded we always have something to be thankful for in our life.  There's nothing like a colorful, cute turkey to warm a heart with thankfulness. They are rich in love and low in calories. 

Thank You, Father, for our blessings, especially Your Son... may we never forget.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
