Hi – Just found your site somehow, probably twittermoms, love your site. It’s nice to find fellow Jesus seekers. I’m so thankful for all our military families. We have an air force base not far from our home and many of our friends are either currently in the air force or are retired from the air force. It’s definitely an interesting lifestyle. Talk to ya later

Thank you for your warm and thankful post… I am so thankful for having such a wonderful person come into my life and for loving my son and giving him (and us) such a blessed life. Wish we could share a bit of everyday with you guys! Enjoy your friends and give hugs to everyone from us…

I never liked turkey as a kid; they made me a hot dog every thanksgiving lol! Now the only reason I make turkey is so many of us are allergic to everything but plain meat & veggies. So, as has been our typical, it’ll be us, very plain steamed organic veggies, & my free turkey from shopping enough lol, that they say doesn’t have any additives in it (hopefully!). Maybe I’ll actually make one special squash dish if I feel adventurous, but it’s kind of a blessing to keep things simple for us these days.

Enjoy!

Thank you for this post. I really enjoyed it!

My husband and I have decided that when our youngest daughter is a little older we want to spend our Thanksgiving serving those that are not as fortunate as we are! Our oldest 2 daughters think that is an awesome idea!

I too agree that Thanksgiving should be traditional. I do always try to find the best deals on turkey and ham because otherwise they are rather expensive but other than that we keep it traditional!

Many blessings!

As a retired army wife, I’d like to thank you for the suggestion to remember single military members who might not be able to go home for Christmas. When my husband was in the army, we always invited any single person or couple who couldn’t go home for the holidays to spend them with us. Even if the invitation is turned down, the thought will be appreciated more than you can know.

Now that we are retired, we’ve extended those invitations to include anyone we know who wants to come celebrate with us. I can guarantee that this has enriched our life far more than simply a meal shared.

I believe the more the merrier. I wouldn’t mind having more mouths to feed if that means I get to spread the cheer and lift someone up who needs it.

Excellent idea! We are spending Thanksgiving with my husband’s rather large family. There will be at least 25 people there- all spending the night too! Everyone is contributing something
