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!

I've never baked a pie before. It seems intimidating to me. More so than cooking a turkey.

I'd rather have the prayers! Thanks for praying for me and I continue to pray for you.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day!

Blessings in Christ--

I think the pen pal idea is wonderful!

Pie....yum! I made a pumpkin pie this morning and brought it with me. My Mom makes the best pecan pies so I leave those to her. LOL

We arrived in Columbus awhile ago and I'm playing on the computer while George gets Miss Daisy fed, walked and settled before we head out the door.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hugs!

Pen pal? I can't ever find a pen that works!
But...I sure do love the idea. Feels a bit like Ozzie and Harriet!

I don't suppose you are wearing a housecoat and an apron while you bake the pie?! Truly, I am impressed and I think I can smell it baking!
Yummmmmmm!
Happy Thanksgiving!
