Ooooh man. I made a Thanksgiving Rookie mistake. I went to WalMart. You know, between that and the new El Rancho, I thought I was making the right decision (considering the food items that I needed). Think again! The lesson learned: Never go to any grocery store the day before Thanksgiving. Screaming children. Adults who act as if they've never pushed a grocery cart. Lines that will make you want to just take your stuff and run.
But, I survived. I got home and realized I forgot butter. Thank goodness for CVS, because I was not going back to the Walmarts!
Then, I made some green bean casserole and pumpkin bread. I was so excited about the pumpkin bread. The problem about breads is that I always get excited about them...and always take them out of the oven too early. Then they fall and become more of a patty. Not okay. Disappointment every time.
I am not always good about reflecting on Thanksgiving about what I'm thankful for. I take things for granted and I get too distracted by the delicious family foods. This Thanksgiving I have to go to work, but I am going to make an effort to find a quiet moment during the day and reflect on what God has blessed me with. Everything we have, and even what we don't have, is a gift from God.
You are loved and cared for.
