Being Thankful on November 15

I’m allergic to peanuts. I haven’t eaten peanuts for a very long time and I don’t miss peanuts much, but I really did miss peanut butter. So I’m very thankful for pea butter, which I buy right at my local supermarket. Pea butter is not, like most food substitutes, a pale imitation of the real thing. It’s just as good, and maybe better, than peanut butter. I can have all those snacks I used to love, just with pea butter instead of peanut butter—crackers and pea butter, pea butter and jam sandwiches, and best of all, pea butter ants on a log.

I’m thankful for pea butter, the golden peas it’s made from, and the Alberta farmer who came up with the idea and developed the product. They are gifts from my Father who provides every good thing.

What are you thankful for?

I’m celebrating good gifts from God during the month of November and hoping you’ll be thankful for your good gifts, too. Here’s how you can join in the thanksgiving and even, perhaps, get something material from it. If you’ve posted something you’ve posted something you’ve expected me to include and you don’t see it on the list, please let me know. I do miss things sometimes.

A few days ago I wrote that I loved blogging because it adds discipline to my life and keeps me learning. I’d probably keep on doing it without feedback, but still, it’s good to be told that someone learns from what I write or makes good use of what they find here. And I’ve received some encouraging words like that over the past week and I’m thankful for them.

• It’s Dawn’s birthday, and she’s thankful to have had so many years.
• Dorothy is thankful for days when she gets to stay home all day.
• Tulipgirl is thankful for weekends and more.

• Connie is thankful for God’s longsuffering.
• Ann is thankful for an everning together as a family.
• Becky is thankful for her Lord.

I’m thankful for the full moon and the clear sky that make tonight bright and beautiful.

God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:16-17 ESV)
