Thankful For God's Gifts

I brined this 14lb. Butterball for 3 days, then smoked it with oak chips for 9 hours at 250 degrees - breast down and tented with foil at about 5 hours (I also threw a ham in at this point). It was the best we've ever had. Then Toni prepared a bunch of incredible side dishes - roasted squash, cranberry sauce and stuffing from scratch, yeast rolls made with homemade buttermilk and served with homemade butter, and more. I am continually amazed at the grace of God who has given us so many incredible gifts. He made animals and plants to taste good, and He fine-tuned our taste buds to appreciate them. Really it is an awe-inspiring thing.

Wisdom of God from Proverbs 6

The Malicious Man

¹² A worthless person, a wicked man, who goes around speaking dishonestly,

¹³ who winks his eyes, signals with his feet, and gestures with his fingers,

¹⁴ who plots evil with perversity in his heart—he stirs up trouble constantly.

¹⁵ Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly; he will be shattered instantly—beyond recovery.

These People Are a Blessing.
