Confession And Thanksgiving
They have not served You . . . in the many good things that You gave them. Nehemiah 9:35
During a Sunday worship service, our congregation said this prayer of confession in unison: Gracious God, like many believers before us, we complain when things do not go our way. We want abundance of everything rather than what is sufficient to sustain us. We would rather be elsewhere than where we are at the moment. We would rather have the gifts You give to others than what You provide for us. We would rather have You serve us than serve You. Forgive our lack of gratitude for what You give.
Abundance is no guarantee of gratefulness or thanksgiving. Prosperity may even turn our hearts away from the Lord.
When a group of Jewish exiles returned from Babylon with Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, they gathered to confess their sins and those of their fathers. They prayed: Neither our kings nor our princes, our priests nor our fathers, have kept Your law . . . . For they have not served You in their kingdom, or in the many good things that You gave them, or in the large and rich land which You set before them, nor did they turn from their wicked works (Neh. 9:34-35).
Confession is a powerful prelude to a prayer of thanks-giving. Obedience is the Amen.
Lord, before we come to ask Your blessing
On this special day we call Thanksgiving,
We would bow to You, our sins confessing,
Then well lift our praise in grateful living. Hess

AWESOME HOLIDAY RECIPE
FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
1 loaf Challah bread (16 ounces), cubed
7 eggs
2 cups Half-and-Half
3/4 cup milk
3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar (depends on how sweet you want it)
2 heaping teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup raisins (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Dash salt
Top with: Praline Topping, recipe follows
Cut bread into cubes. Put ½ of the cubes into a well-buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, Half-and-Half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour ½ mixture over the cubes, then layer rest of cubes and rest of liquid on top. Coat all well with egg mixture. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. You can prepare Praline Topping the evening before and store in refrigerator. Warm topping just until spreadable (in microwave) and spread evenly over the bread and bake for 40-45 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple or raspberry syrup.
Praline Topping:
1 stick butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1+ cup chopped toasted pecans (1-1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons light corn syrup (heavy tablespoons)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Makes enough for Baked French Toast Casserole. Can be served with Raspberry Syrup, but I thought the casserole was fine without syrup.
Raspberry Syrup:
1 cup raspberry preserves
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur (recommended: Framboise)
Combine ingredients in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir until warm and thinned out like syrup.

Happy Thanksgiving and may God bless all military families as they set an empty place at the table. My son is in the Army and can’t be with us this year, but he is safe on American soil, so we don’t complain. Prayers for the safety of all American brothers and sisters who serve and sacrifice. Love you!
