Pecan Pie & Prayer Partners & Slogan

A nice story.......

Last night I had a little argument discussion with one of my sisters. We have a large family and we are scattered all around this country. Let me think, we have these states covered... Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, North Carolina and California. We have several nieces and nephews, too! My sister had a good idea to do a gift exchange this Christmas to "make us all feel connected." We would have to send a $15.00 gift to someone. I told her I thought the idea was silly. I said it would probably cost more to send the gift. Plus, we've tried this before and unfortunately someone doesn't get a gift for whatever reason... Anyway, my sister was a little bummed that I decided to opt out of the exchange.

I talked with her this morning. She called me early asking for my pecan pie recipe. When I asked her if she was still mad at me she said she wasn't. Good. Then she told me that she and another sister talked about the idea of exchanging names to be "Pen-Pals" over the next year. I told her it was a great idea! I went on to tell her what I call that...

Prayer Partners...

I'm so THANKFUL for the ways God continues to work in hearts all around our world and especially my family!
I hope all of my siestas have a Prayer Partner as well!

I wish I could smell the food cooking in everyone's houses today! I better get baking my pecan pie!
Love you-

P.S. My blog siesta came up with the BEST slogan for Thanksgiving! She gave me permission to pass this on...

"Let’s keep Thanksgiving pure, remembering Who has given us such amazing gifts as Christ Himself, and keep the holiday unadulterated with peripheral things. Here’s my (Annie's) slogan for the campaign."

Thanksgiving - It Looks Good on You.

Thank you so much!
