Give Thanks Everyday


I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength. You have told me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded." Daniel 2:23



This is the season of Gratitude. Best place to start is with God. How are you thankful to Him today? Daniel expressed his praise, adoration and thankfulness to our God—for the wisdom and strength God had given him. What a good example as we are in this season of thankfulness. Daniel didn’t need a national holiday to encourage him to give thanks. Let’s give thanks every day—for the Lord blesses us daily. Give us this day our daily bread…physical and spiritual food.



Prayer ~ Bless us. O Lord—and all the gifts You give us—the family, friends, food and fellowship—from Your bounty and great resources. Thank you…today and always.



Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

Here’s an alternative to the traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving.
Give Thanks for Pumpkins...
and Pumpkin Lovers



Pumpkin Custard

1½ cups milk

4 Tbsp cornstarch

1½ cups cooked or canned pumpkin

½ cup sugar

½ tsp freshly ground Himalayan salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger root (½ tsp dry ground)

1/8 tsp ground cloves

¼ tsp ground mace



Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.



Wisk together milk and cornstarch in a large bowl until smooth. Add pumpkin, sugar, salt and spices. Pour into a custard dish and bake for 45 minutes, or until firm. If using four small individual dishes, you may bake for a shorter time. Cool before serving.



This is an egg-less, crust-less version of traditional Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.

Bake in an unbaked pie crust if you prefer.
