TODAY IS...EAT A CRANBERRY DAY

One of only a few native North American fruits, the cranberry was an important staple long before the Pilgrims arrived. Native Americans, who referred to cranberries as sassamanash, made cakes prepared with lean, dried strips of meat pounded into paste and mixed with animal fat, grains and cranberries. Because of the vitamin C content of cranberries, captains of the early sailing ships supplied their sailors with cranberries to prevent scurvy

TODAY'S TRIVIA

TODAY'S SMILE

THANKSGIVING FORECAST

Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.

 During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.

A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway.

During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator.

 Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day.

We expect a warming trend where soup develops.

By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

 

The only consolation you have in cooking for two days before Thanksgiving is that you usually don't have to cook for a week afterward

TODAY'S REFLECTION

 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. ... The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

James 5:13, 16

The most powerful resource available to the Christian is prayer. We can go directly to God and talk with Him. Often one will say, "All we can do now is pray." Praying is the first thing we should do. It is not a last resort of the Christian. It is the first, best and most powerful thing we can do.

It has been said as:

 Don't just stand there -- Pray something

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

Refresh household sponges by soaking them in cold salt water for ten minutes

28 DAYS UNTIL WINTER

Delight yourself in the Lord and

He will give you the desires of your Heart

 Psalm 37:4

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
