another piece of pumpkin pie?" And because it's a Thanksgiving dinner, 
nobody can say no, not even The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. 

When I asked that question, she looked at me with one of "her looks" and
carefully shook her head in the negative position, but that's about all 
she could do. That's the one thing I love about Thanksgiving. I can get 
away with it. 

I can't think of anything around the Thanksgiving table that I don't
like. The food is magnificent. And the pies are just wonderful. 

My goal around the table is to ensure that the pumpkin pie vanishes
without The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage knowing it's happening. 

While eating the first bite of my first pumpkin pie, I will lift my fork
in the air and say, "I want to thank The Gracious Mistress of the 
Parsonage for such a wonderful menu today." Everybody around the table 
will shout, "Yes." And that solves a lot of my difficulties on 
Thanksgiving. Pass on the pumpkin pie. 

As I was thinking about Thanksgiving, I couldn't help but think of
Colossians 3:17: "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the 
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." 

A thankful heart is a heart that pleases God. I want to please God every
day no matter what it costs me. The best way to thank God is to be 
thankful for all my family and friends. Some of those may not be here 
next Thanksgiving.
