Being Thankful on November 15
Saturday, November 15, 2008 at 9:58PM 
I’m allergic to peanuts. I haven’t eaten peanuts for a very long time and I don’t miss peanuts much, but I really did miss peanut butter. So I’m very thankful for pea butter, which I buy right at my local supermarket. Pea butter is not, like most food substitutes, a pale imitation of the real thing. It’s just as good, and maybe better, than peanut butter. I can have all those snacks I used to love, just with pea butter instead of peanut butter—crackers and pea butter, pea butter and jam sandwiches, and best of all, pea butter ants on a log.
I’m thankful for pea butter, the golden peas it’s made from, and the Alberta farmer who came up with the idea and developed the product. They are gifts from my Father who provides every good thing.
- Willow is thankful for days of solitude and more.
- Ann is thankful for less expensive fuel.
- Connie is thankful for “God’s mercy in protecting my family as we travel here and there….”
- Liz is thankful for sticky snow and more.
- Kim of Hiraeth is thankful for her darling little grandson.
- Tulipgirl is thankful for family birthdays and more.
- Dorothy is thankful for warmer weather.
- Dawn is thankful for a new hoodie.
- Carla is thanful for a message from Phil Johnson.
What are you thankful for?
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.

Oh, I'd miss peanut butter, too! I have peanut butter on rye toast for breakfast several times a week!
I've never heard of pea butter but I'll look for some. I know a little guy who can't eat peanuts who might enjoy it!
That would take some getting used to. :-)
Oh, it would be hard to live without peanut butter! I think I might miss peanut butter cookies most of all! I am so glad that pea butter "is just as good, and maybe better" than the real thing!
Because, as far as I know, I have no food allergies, I don't know what it's like to have to check every food for peanuts, or some other ingredient. I'm thankful you have good alternatives.
