Hi Cheryl,

Since today, Thursday, November 25th, is set aside for the observance of Thanksgiving Day here in the USA, here's a few quotes in Honor of the occasion...

"True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him." George R. Hendrick

"Once, when my feet were bare, and I had not the means of obtaining shoes I came to the chief of Kufah in a state of much dejection, and saw there a man who had no feet. I returned thanks to God and acknowledged his mercies, and endured my want of shoes with patience." Sadi, The Gulistan

"If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is 'thank you', that would suffice." Meister Eckhart

"Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude." E. P. Powell

"Nothing purchased can come close to the renewed sense of gratitude for having family and friends." Courtland Milloy

"Our Creator shall continue to dwell above the sky, and that is where those on earth will end their thanksgiving." Seneca

"It is delightfully easy to thank God for the grace we ourselves have received, but it requires great grace to thank God always for the grace given to others." James Smith

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." John Fitzgerald Kennedy

"Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It's a way to live." Jackie Windspear

"If we meet someone who owes us thanks, we right away remember that. But how often do we meet someone to whom we owe thanks without remembering that?" Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe



"We're having something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. Instead of a turkey, we're having a swan. You get more stuffing." George Carlin

"What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?" Erma Bombeck, No One Diets on Thanksgiving

"This year I celebrated Thanksgiving in the old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I gave them all a fatal disease, and I took their land." Jon Stewart

"Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often." Johnny Carson

"May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!"
Anonymous

Have A Happy Thanksgiving My Friends,

Phil

Hi Cheryl,

This is a timeless forum, and I am following Phil's blessing. Bless you for all your hard work and all of the inspiration you bring to Adland. I have missed you my friend, but I have been so busy I barely have time to sleep. One of these day it will all calm down and I cannot wait.

Happy holiday weekend with love. :-)


In JOYFUL Gratitude

Hey there Jill,

Great to see you...yes, it's been awhile but you are always welcome here! I know you keep very busy & I do understand that we only have so much time to spend. Your Thanksgiving blessings are received and appreciated.

Take care & rest well.

Hugs and love to you and family!

Cheryl


P.S. Loved your Thanksgiving website....I'm going to have to go back
there and get some of the recipes. I think I will make the Banana Sour Cream Bread. Sounds unusual, but it had some very good reviews. What a great idea to have a dedicated site like that. I will go back to it for some more ideas and recipes.
