made the desserts on Thursday and then the main dishes on Friday. One of the guests arrived early Friday to help out which was great. We got everything ready on time and 15 guests came. We got started at 7:30 and we had a wonderful time. I gave a history of Thanksgiving and everyone shared something that they were thankful for, I led in prayer, and then we dug in. The food was enjoyed and we had a lot less leftovers that I expected. The favorite seemed to be the Buttermilk pie (grandma's recipe). Everyone stayed until about 11:00. There were really good conversations. We assigned seats so that we would have Christians sitting with non-Christians. It went really well, even the kids were well behaved. I hope that God will bless and we will see some fruit. Angie and I stayed up until 2 in the morning cleaning and washing dishes. I called my parents house and spoke to my mother
for a little bit, wishing them a happy Thanksgiving. As in the case in many families, you can have three or four Thanksgiving meals just to get around to all the family. We went to bed and I slept the best I had ever sleep. My eyes closed and I opened them back up and it was 8:30 and Andrew was standing beside the bed asking if it was time to wake up. Saturday we finished washing dishes, took borrowed tables and chairs back to Carcassonne, started putting the furniture back in the living room. Services went well today, we are taking part in the Christmas program with the churh in Carcassonne. Lilia is playing Mary and Caleb is Joseph. I hope that your Thanksgiving holidays went well. but that you keep up the Thankful spirit all year long. God bless, JASON
