Happy Thanksgiving. As you are eating, napping, cooking, or gathering at the table now, let’s pause for a minute and reflect on the cross and tomb. We normally do that at Easter, but let’s do it now. The world is decidedly against the things of God. The world is prone to wonder how God could be good if there is death and misery. The world concludes God must either not be real or God must not be good.
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.
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God Is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas
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.

We have much to be thankful for.
Pax et Deus vobiscum
Christ lives that we might live. Amen.
Deo Gratias!
