Thanksgiving & Christmas Traditions {YouTube} & Wednesday's LinkUp Party!


Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to a day of cooking tomorrow. I am making some breakfast casseroles as my family is coming for Thanksgiving breakfast on Thursday, and later in the day we'll eat our dinner meal with my husband's large family. Are you cooking? Are you hosting? There's always time to pray, so let me know in the comments if you have a prayer request.  


You might enjoy this video I make of Thanksgiving and Christmas Traditions. I wanted to pass on to you my favorite resources to keep Christ the center of the celebration. Enjoy! May you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Wednesday's Prayer Girls & LinkUp Party (+Yum Yum Luncheon)


For the second time since I began our Wednesday LinkUp Party, I forgot to post the LinkUp! I was actually giving a real time luncheon party yesterday for our nursery and prayer team from our church's women's Bible study at my house, and I totally forgot the days of the week it was in getting ready to have ten over for lunch. I am so sorry, but I will extend one more day to our party, so you can post your lovely blog posts all week on this linkup and throughout the weekend into next week!

I can at least show you some photos from the party! I served big salads with grilled chicken. It was a busy time as I had two "fires" to put out the day before with our dog going to the vet suddenly and another volunteer job at my daughter's school for the choral department. So my son grilled the chicken for me for the women, and my older daughter made supper so I could put the fires out. It just pays to have a large family!



Necessity is the mother of invention. I wanted to put all the salad toppings in bowls but didn't have enough small bowls, when I suddenly remembered my next door neighbor's great while big swirl plates.  I put all the salad toppings on her swirl plates in rows! She suggested I put all the sweet toppings on her smaller white swirl plate, and all the savory and salty toppings on the other (somehow in all the excitement the pecans found their way to the fruits). And Joan, our prayer team leader brought a fabulous cake with "Morning Glory" on top of it: the name of our Bible study.

I wanted to have them all over for lunch because like-minded Christian friends are a gift from the Lord Himself so it was sort of like a way to say thank you to the Lord. 
.



Time for YOUR party now, and remember to leave your prayer requests in the comments! It is my honor to pray for you.  And lastly, if you know any Christian bloggers that would like to be on my first book blogger team, no matter their blog size, send me their email and I'll contact them, or they can email me at juana(at)juanamikels(dot)com.
