THANKSGIVING DAY 2017

“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

Yes, I know this entry is a bit late – LOL!  I decided yesterday that I would post an afternoon entry today. So here it is!

Cecil Guidry told me this past Sunday that Miss Marjorie Sellers had passed from this life and entered Heaven.  The visitation with her family will take place this coming Monday, 11/27, from 11:30AM until the 1:00PM service time.  Visitation and service will take place at the Pinecrest Funeral Home on DIP in Mobile.  I have been asked by the family to preach Miss Marjorie’s service.  What an honor.  Just know while Miss Marjorie has lived in Texas for many years now she was a tremendous part of the Friendship family while she lived in Grand Bay.  Pray for her family during this time.

As I am typing this entry, Randall Broome has just informed me that Chris Byrd’s maternal grandmother passed from this life earlier this afternoon.  So pray for Chris and his family as they walk through this valley.

Thanksgiving Day 2017 has been good for the Turrentine family.  Titus spent the night last night and I promised him that I would sleep in with him so we did.  Lisa had a list of honey dos whenever I got up – she is a slave driver.  I tried to explain that it is Thanksgiving Day but she was having none of that!  We had a nice family meal around 12:45PM.  Folks, Lisa’s mother makes the absolute best dressing in the world – I love it!  All of the ladies on the hill did a nice job of cooking and Brad did the turkey on his Green Egg.  Good time of fellowship around the table!

I was full from lunch and decided to take a nap.  Lisa says “not so fast my friend!”  She then informs me that I have not bought groceries in like a month and demands that I go to Walmart.  I tried to use the “it is Thanksgiving Day” thing again but to no avail.  One thing about it – I was the only person in Walmart buying groceries!  Lots of workers, lots of police, almost all of the lanes open, and folks sitting in lines but no one buying groceries except me.

I am going to nominate Devon Edwards as husband/father of the year!  Witney and the children left last Friday and went to Texas (I tried to tell her to not go to Texas).  The children all got sick.  So, Witney calls Devon all crying, slinging snot, et cetera.  What does he do?  Boards a plane in Mobile last night to fly to Texas to help her with the children and to drive them back to Grand Bay.  Is that not husband/father of the year stuff?  Men are definitely the stronger vessel (Bible stuff here).  Had the roles been reversed Devon would have toughed it out without ever even letting Witney know about it!  Devon is the man!

By the way, we had some pretty expensive dessert today.  Thanks to Mr. Gary Walton we had a cake that cost five hundred dollars as our dessert!  (I did not eat any as I know the baker!)

About to settle in and watch the Mississippi versus Mississippi State football game.  Hopefully it will be a good game.  I do not have a dog in this fight so I can watch and simply enjoy!

I hope you have had a good day and will enjoy your Thanksgiving evening.
