and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!

"Clyde Murdock tells of a Christian farmer who was spending a day in a large city. Entering the restaurant for his noon meal, he found a table near a group of young men. When his meal was served, he quietly, with bowed head, gave thanks for the food before him.
    The young men, observing this, thought they would ridicule and embarrass the old gentleman. One called out in a loud voice: 'Hey farmer, does everyone do that where you live?'
   The old man looked at the callow youth and calmly said: 'No, son, the pigs don't.'"

      "PROFANITY is the unintelligent effort of a FEEBLE MIND trying to express itself forcibly. THANKSGIVING is the spiritual activity of a SANCTIFIED HEART expressing itself humbly." 
                        (Prairie Overcomer, October, 1987, p. 28)


     “Thanksgiving speaks in clear, crisp tones of forgotten terms like integrity – bravery – respect - faith-vigilance – dignity – honor – freedom – discipline -sacrifice-godliness. Its historic halls echo with the voices of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Henry, Lincoln, Lee and Jackson, who challenge us to trim off the fat of indolence, compromise, passivity, and the stigma of strife.”   (Charles R. Swindoll)


Thanksgiving is a time for remembering and appreciating the special people in our lives.
Our home is warmed by the love of family and friends.

Real abundance is found when we join hands with those we love.
