I’m celebrating good gifts from God during the month of November and hoping you’ll be thankful for your good gifts, too. Here’s how you can join in the thanksgiving and even, perhaps, get something material from it. If you’ve posted something you’ve posted something you’ve expected me to include and you don’t see it on the list, please let me know. I do miss things sometimes.

Peasants Lifting Potatoes
Vincent Van GoghI’m thankful for my garden potatoes. Potatoes take very little work to grow, and the taste payoff is big. I had one of my garden potatoes baked for supper and I really enjoyed it. A bonus benefit from garden potatoes is that their skins are so tender that they don’t need to be peeled—ever. I don’t even peel them to make mashed potatoes and no one’s complained yet. In fact, they say they like their mashed potatoes better that way. So I thank God for providing potatoes for us, and the sun, rain, and soil to grow them.
