The table is set and we are getting ready for our guests. The turkey will go in the oven about noon since we aren’t eating until 4ish. I’ll be trying the convection setting on our oven for the first time. (Hope nothing goes wrong!) The yams are boiling and will be ready to peel, slice, and put into a casserole sprinkled generously with butter and brown sugar and topped with marshmallows, then baked to perfection. That is a family favorite. Jamie is bringing pies, her Granny’s buns and brussels sprouts. Linda is bringing whipped cream and cranberry sauce.
My Yorkshire dishes hold even more meaning this year after our walk along the Yorkshire Dales in September.
I saw these photos from 2017 and 2019 from our ‘Grands’ first Thanksgivings and couldn’t resist sharing them this year.
Addy’s First Thanksgiving
JJ’s first Thanksgiving.
Happy USA Thanksgiving Day!
Thanks be to God who gives us all good things to enjoy.
Thanks be to Jesus who died on the cross for our sins and made the way possible for forgiveness of those sins and peace with God.
Thanks be to the Holy Spirit who is with us teaching us and comforting us.
Truth for Today will resume next Thursday. I’ll leave you with this benediction from the book of Hebrews.
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Have a beautiful day. God Bless.
Cute photos.
Your table is beautiful, Ellen. I really like the brown transferware. I can understand why they are even more special this year after your recent trip to Yorkshire. It was fun seeing the pictures of Addy and JJ and their first Thanksgivings with you. And yes, He does give us so many wonderful gifts…may He be praised!
Your grands are adorable! A very festive and pretty table setting Ellen, and those plates are a delight.
Love your plates, Ellen. Looks like a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Beautiful table setting! How did the oven setting work out? I hope there were no problems.
Lauren, We were very pleased with this ‘new to us’ cooking. The turkey turned out well in half the time of regular conventional oven settings. We will use this method with confidence in the future. Thank you for you visit and comment!
A beautiful day with a beautiful family!
