My grandniece,"lil' J" and her neighbor friend, Heather.Traveling to Orlando on Thursday morning, was amazing how many families were still on the road. As we quickly drove past each car or van, you can see mothers or grandmothers trying to find a way to entertain the children either by feeding them or reading to them. These were families on their way to either celebrate the holiday with family or taking a nice small vacation.
Once we got to our desitination, we participated by helping out with the cooking. My sister was working on the turkey at the same time making the stuffing. It smelt so good, the onions, the mushrooms, the celery, the greenbeans and smelling the turkey baking made us all the more hungrier.
My sister had invited some of her friends over, the nighbor with his two daughters (his wife had left him), another male friend of theirs (whose car still sits in the garage with most of its parts missing) and a family from up the road. Their brough several apple and pumpkin pies (she claimed she baked them when she doesnt know how to cook). But then there was my nephew who was to lazy to help and spent most of his time complaining that the food was not on the table yet. Yet he was not doing anything to expedite it.
Once the food was laid out, I made sure I took some pictures ... families gathered around the buffet table and began to pile up their plates with turkey, yams, greenbeen casserole, stuffing (sorted ones), cranberry sauce, mash potatoes, salad and roles. We ate outside on the picnic table -enjoying the cool sunny weather. Later we enjoyed the deliciuos pumpkin and apple pie with cool whip.

Thanksgiving is suppose to be a day of thanksgiving- a day of fest with family and friends- a day to be thankful for the blessings God has given us. God created each of us differently and unique and for special reasons. Like a pot pie, we are deliciously made to serve a good purpose in the world we live in.Like Thanksgiving, with sorted goods of food, meats, vegetables, potatoes and even the flakey crust- we are God's pot pie. Each of us are uniquely created for a reason to serve a purpose. Whether we are singers, mothers, fathers, mssionaries, teachers, doctors, lawyers, policemen and so on, we all have unique purposes here on earth.
However how you like to make your pot pie and enjoy the frangance and tastes, know that pot pie is a real healthy meal. Which healthy vegetable are you?
