Thanksgiving Meal Ideas

November 22nd, 2018: Time spent with family and loved ones (Thanksgiving)

I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.-Psalm 9:1

I can’t believe how time has flew by since the last thanksgiving dinner. For many people, thanksgiving is a time spent with friends and loved one. For some of us, we don’t see our families throughout the year and this is the only time where we can gather up at a table to eat and celebrate one another. For another group of people, this is a time where they reminisce on the times shared with a loved one who is no longer here. Whatever your reason may be, celebrate and have fun. Take time to cook a meal. If grandma or mama is always doing the cooking, let your hands do the cooking this year. By the Grace of God, we get to see another year, sit at the table with our loved ones. Thank God for His goodness. As we sit and gobble till we wobble, may we take the time to pray for those who are unfortunate. If you offer some food to the needy, feel free to do so. If you are going to be cooking this year, this blog post is for you. I’m going to be sharing a few thanksgiving meal ideas to chef 👩🏿‍🍳up. Let’s get started.
