As of today, I’ve cooked 97 turkeys. The size and trimmings for each turkey is unique, and promises to be a beautiful, colorful bounty for the recipient. Laminating the turkey placemats created by the kindergarteners for their Thanksgiving lunch is one of my favorite tasks. Some turkeys are painted on with brushes and others with their hands and fingers. For sure, no two turkeys are alike, but all are special.
How would your turkey placemat look? Would you draw a fat turkey with lots of colorful feathers and short legs or a bare, long legged skinny one? And if that turkey could talk, would he be spouting out words of gratitude, even in a season of uncertainties? It's time to prepare our hearts and placemats for the THANKS-giving feast.
Father, we want to present our Thanksgiving placemats before You overflowing with sincere gratitude for all You do in our lives. We are so grateful that even though we are many and uniquely made by You, we are each special in Your eyes.
And that, my friend, is no turkey!
