BE THANKFUL

Turkeys, ham, cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes, yummy veg's and desserts, desserts and more. How can you not be thankful? I started today baking delicious, healthy oatmeal raisin cookies with pecans. I took a plate to neighbors across the street and they disappeared instantly. I will change up and put chocolate chips instead of raisins next.
Tomorrow I will make more cookies and Wed. will make a cake and pies. Once I start, I tend to go crazy baking and cooking. Guess it comes from feeding those 3 boys of mine and all their friends and my family. I will post a recipe for beef, ham and turkey rollups that are great for appetizers. You can make ahead and it will keep in the frig. for about 2 wks. I will include my DJ's King crunch. I made this a few yrs ago while we were in San Diego and it seemed to be a hit!

I will share my thoughts for all that I am thankful this Thanksgiving.

First and foremost I am so very thankful for life, my amazing 3 sons, grandchildren, other family members, dear friends and my home.
I am so thankful for God's love, mercy and grace that He bestows to me daily.
I am thankful to live in a free land and for our troops who insure this freedom for us. God bless them all and for those who have given their lives.
I am thankful that we didn't have a major hurricane here on the beautiful Ms Gulf Coast.
I am thankful for my extended King family. They are all so very precious to me.
I am thankful that I have eyes to see God's beauty, ears to hear someone's concerns or troubles or beautiful music, legs to keep me moving moving, and hands to do my work.

Last year my son Al and I started the day out by going to fix plates of food for the needy. We will do the same this year and later enjoy a good meal with family.
I hope each of you reading this will have your own list of Thanks and keep those things in your heart each day of your life. When we keep ourselves in a thankful mode.. then we don't allow the ups and downs of life to bring us down. Life is a journey that we share with many along the way. Make it an unforgetable one... be good, do good, enjoy the journey and be thankful! :)
