The next day, after it was all over and all the family had gone home, I
sat in the living room relaxing and watching a little TV. On my mind 
was that turkey we had yesterday. Then, a thought just got a hold of me 
at that time. 

I thought that the center of our Thanksgiving dinner was the turkey.
Everybody was talking about the turkey and how delicious it was. That 
got me thinking about my situation. 

If the Thanksgiving turkey is the center of our family get-together,
perhaps when my wife refers to me as a turkey, it means I'm the center 
of our family. That never occurred to me before. I didn't want to test 
it with The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, I thought better. 

Sometimes, what you don't hear can be a blessing. 

Thinking about this later that day I was reminded of what Jesus said.
“If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, 
Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured 
to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given” (Mark 4:23-24). 

I have an obligation to listen to what I am hearing. This has a degree
of obedience that is important in my Christian life. I will be held 
accountable to what I am hearing. That means it is important to hear 
everything. If I miss a word I could get the whole thing wrong which 
would have consequences in my life.
