That tree must have tasty sap..!

Do you cook a big Thanksgiving dinner or get invited somewhere? I was watching them cook Thanksgiving dinners this morning on the Food network and I got so darn hungry for turkey and gravy and cranberries it made my mouth water. I have never been a great turkey lover but right now I feel like I could eat a half turkey....LOL! And yum, the dressing is my very favorite. Now what in the world will I eat for lunch after that tantalizing layout?

It’s been nice to see you here during your time off..We’ll be glad to see you when you can post.

[Borax Queen]

That is so sweet, Meg, thank you. It’s been so nice to be so welcomed here, especially after all of this time. One day, I might even learn how to do the beautiful photos/graphics the rest of you do (I have instructions somewhere, but never make it that far, lol).

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

GEORGE WASHINGTON – THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

In the coldest and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting glory and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation.

In like manner, let our prayers now rise for our heroes in the American military who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and keep them in the shelter of Your healing wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

The Lord’s Prayer – Andrea Bocelli

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

We go somewhere or Mr. BQ cooks :0)) Yummmm...... (yes, I’m sounding more and more of a spoiled brat, I know...).

We’re getting a very rare rain here today, sooo cozy! In fact, it’s been overcast for three days, but the rain just started today. What a treat in the desert.

[MEG33]

Don’t worry..We are glad to see you with or without a graphic.

That is a pic from the web, JC. But, the bark of my tree looks just like that! (My tree is a hybird weeping spruce)

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday afternoon

Both my sons are great cooks. When their dad was here he always helped in the kitchen. He did all the grilling outside of course. If I was doing potato salad, he would cut up the potatoes and onions for me and that’s a big job. He was a good man for sure!

[ConorMacNessa]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you, Meg!
