Only the humble believe him and rejoice that God is so free and so marvelous that he does wonders where people despair, that he takes what is little and lowly and makes it marvelous. And that is the wonder of all wonders, that God loves the lowly…. God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God marches right in. He chooses people as his instruments and performs his wonders where one would least expect them. God is near to lowliness; he loves the lost, the neglected, the unseemly, the excluded, the weak and broken.

Happy Thanksgiving. Glad you and your family are on the mend and getting rest. And I have to add this. I am 67 years old and up until about three years ago I could not make gravy to save my life. Then I read your recipe. I now make great gravy and have adapted your recipe to also make a great gravy to go with beef.
