I am thankful that I have my parents still living at age 84 even though they are in other states. I still pray for my dad's salvation. God is faithful to give him more days on earth even with his prostate cancer and we pray until his last breath that he will accept Christ. God blesses us all so richly and I pray and am so thankful for our troops who fight for us and give their lives for our freedom and protection. May God protect their very lives.<br /><br />Sweet Blessings to you,<br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-56600240005486486702010-11-25T09:01:37.812-05:002010-11-25T09:01:37.812-05:00This morning I am more thankful more my health, hu...This morning I am more thankful more my health, husband, and children than every before. I accepted Christ into my life almost four months and my life has become more full. I wake up each morning living life to its fullest. My family has experienced severe financial hardships recently, but I have realized all that matters is the love in my family and the love of god. Thanksgiving is a time to truly be blessed for the most important things in life...love, family, health, and friendships, especially one with god. <br />--AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-20237972981112716842010-11-25T07:57:23.783-05:002010-11-25T07:57:23.783-05:00Happy Thankgiving Day, I very thankful for what Ch...Happy Thankgiving Day, I very thankful for what Christ done for me at the cross, my family, friends, enemies, thankful for the Church that I attend, and very thankful that I can share this moment with you, Vernonsoyouwannahitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-21348360050198839632010-11-24T20:15:54.264-05:002010-11-24T20:15:54.264-05:00Why stress a recipe?

It's very simple and I think the receipe is on the back of one of the cans of green beans (sorry can't remember which kind). All you really need is 1 can of green beans and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and a little milk mixed together. Put in the oven until it bubbles. Take it out and sprinkle French fried onion flakes that come in a can and put it back into the oven to brown. You'll have to watch it because it browns quickly. That's it, I think.From the Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612517670775886165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-2115547442324458732010-11-24T18:16:13.522-05:002010-11-24T18:16:13.522-05:00I am replacing traditional "green bean casser...I am replacing traditional "green bean casserole" with Broccoli Casserole.

Just add some bacon in with them while they are cooking, and you will still get the good flavor (not a big fan of the french style--you need the fat green beans!) Or do the same with broccoli... I think there's nothing better than a green veggie with no extras mixed in.
