Learning from the Pilgrims & Puritans
My challenge to you this year to learn the WHOLE story, if you don’t already know it, of this little Separatist congregation that sailed from England on the Mayflower.

Our lives are filled with evidence of God’s kindness. People do all kinds of nice things for us that we take for granted, but we tend to zero in on what people did not do to meet our expectations. Most of us, if we spent time with our children, would really like them, but so often we focus on the negative with our children, and, husbands too. People will pull away from other people who are negative, so be a fountain of blessing and positive words. Don’t take anything for granted. Notice the smallest act, the tiniest detail, giving thanks to everyone for everything.
It’s time for Thanksgiving again and one of my favorite things to eat: turkey. I don’t know which is better: the Thanksgiving feast or the leftover turkey sandwiches with a glass of milk.
found a recipe for pumpkin muffins as a young bride preparing for her first Thanksgiving meal far away from home.
I adapted the recipe to make it moister.
These taste like mini pumpkin pies! Yummy.
Oh, dear friends, here it is already November. It is time to buy, buy, buy, shop, shop, shop. Or is it? If you are like me, this holiday season finds my wallet with a lot less money inside it this year. I am having to modify my spending, which means that I will have to modify my celebrating.
