In preparing for Turkey Day, I am thrilled to have minimal responsibilities this year. My mother-in-law has invited our family over for dinner, so I will not prepare a huge meal.
Without the family responsibility of the Thanksgiving Feast, I will make the sweet potato casserole and bake the pies for our family celebration. Yum!
As our family is so grateful for the blessings of which we do not deserve, we are joining with our Sunday school class to supply a meal to a charitable organization.
Our class has adopted this ministry and will provide a Thanksgiving meal for the moms and kids less fortunate than ourselves.
In addition to providing sweet potato casserole, our family has the added privilege of delivering the meal to them which I hope is the highlight of our Thanksgiving season.
For those of you serving your family’s Thanksgiving Feast, planning and starting ahead alleviates the time constraints on Thursday morning. Last year, I posted my Tuesday and Wednesday preparations and then my detailed Thursday schedule.
This year, my Thanksgiving Week is different from last year as our situation has changed. My tentative plan for the week is as follows:
Thanksgiving Week Schedule
Monday – organize my coupons and general cleanup
Tuesday – pay bills and start cleaning
Wednesday – prepare sweet potatoes and bake pies
Thursday – bake sweet potatoes and Thanksgiving Feast
Friday – game night with friends
In using time wisely to prepare for your Thanksgiving week, plan a schedule, execute, and count your blessings. Enjoy the time with your family and friends as you bless others during this Grateful season. Happy planning!
