This was my first Thanksgiving away from my family. Yes I missed my loved ones and the yearly feast of specialties… Nana’s baked corn, Mom’s homemade raviolis and chocolate pie, G-bea’s green bean casserole… But I had a great day and a delish meal to boot! We didn’t have turkey, but chicken served as a nice substitute. And each of us made a dish, and we enjoyed a beautiful family dinner, which left us all stuffed to the gills and content!

 

On our way to the village with Chilli and nonperishables to hand out!
Notice the frost covering everything! Its Cold, and beautiful!

The best part of the day was before we even dove into the daintys!  We made a big pot of chili and took it to the village next door and fed three poor families a hearty meal!
We laughed together, and sang Christmas and worship songs! It brought pure joy to my heart to see the joy on the faces of these beautiful people! I was certainly counting my blessings and thanking the Lord for His provision!
