For everything there is a season, and a time for every
matter under heaven:. . . . What gain have the workers from their toil? I have
seen the business that God has given to everyone to be busy with. He has made
everything suitable for its time; moreover he has put a sense of past and
future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from the
beginning to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to be
happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; moreover, it is God’s gift
that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil. From Ecclesiastes 3
Last night for dinner I boiled some red potatoes with fresh
rosemary and spices. Then I found frozen collards, turkey and dressing in our
downstairs freezer left from Thanksgiving.
I love to cut up leftover turkey and mix it in the dressing which I
did. As we ate our delicious dinner I
decided that I have never eaten any food anywhere that I like the taste of any
better than my dressing with turkey in it.
Some people think turkey and dressing is only for Thanksgiving. I think it’s good any time. I guess the problem is the size of the bird
if you have a small family. I want to
stay out of ruts. How much more fun life
is if we do the unexpected. Maybe
instead of our normal Saturday schedule of grocery stores and household chores
we’ll take off and go hiking in the mountains. (Don’t tell Joe I’m thinking
about this!) God wants us to enjoy life in every season. Last night’s dinner
was enough for two meals so we’ll have turkey and dressing and all the other
stuff again tonight and if that bothers you just remember that every day should
be a day of thanksgiving for the blessings we have.
Holy God, thank you for all the good things in our lives and
for strengthening us as we face the bad things.
Help us to keep life fresh and interesting and to face each new day
giving thanks to you. We ask in the name
of your Son, Jesus Christ, amen.
Have a blessed weekend. Do something unexpected!
Paige
