While the real bird is roasting, you can present your guests with this tasty Thanksgiving turkey.
This was in "Taste of Home" magizine, I love it , what a wonderful and creative appetizer.

Well our first Sunday was super, had two visitors and a wonderful service, you could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and I do love when that happens.  We both sang, and 3 of our dear little children sang a song of Psalms, that blessed our hearts, nothing like children singing for the lord, their tender hearts toward him, I am going to work with these dear little ones, ages 11,9,7 and teach them more songs, and have them sing more often, my dear husband loves them singing also. I know God was with us, and he blessed our first Sunday serving him. I hope and pray you had a wonderful lords day also. Have a very Magnifcent Monday too. ♥

Psalm 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

 

            

Keep us in prayer, this is the first Sunday my dear husband is the pastor of Gospel Light Baptist Church, pray that God will be glorified in all that is done, and that name of Jesus is magnified in all the services today, pray that some soul will accept him as their saviour today, and that we can say, it was good to be in the house of the lord. Praise His Holy Name.

 

There is so much to be thankful for, and may I always thank God for the things in my life, all the prayers he answers, all the blessings he bestows upon me. Oh yes thank you lord for your blessings on me.
