Kevin James' line about Thanksgiving gave me a good laugh, so I "borrowed" it for the title of this posting. Today is definitely a tough day for waistlines all accross America. We'll have plenty to eat - it is after all a feast.
As in past years, I searched for some quotes to share in this Thanksgiving entry. One of these - unlike my pants - really seems to fit. "One act of thanksgiving made when things go wrong is worth a thousand when things go well." - Anonymous.
In any situation there are good and not-so-good outcomes. Despite being surrounded by those closest to us; enjoying our favorite foods; and pausing to give thanks for our many blessings - today might feel like "not a good day." Certainly, preparing and cleaning up a huge meal; reeling from "Aunt Sally's" grating comment; or being Kevin James' pants - are all tough gigs. But being thankful during difficult times shows our true spirit.
This weeks song, "O Praise Him" by the David Crowder Band is a reminder to give thanks to our creator at all times. Let's focus on being the belly AND having the mindfulness to give thanks when we're the pants.
I wish you all a happy, blessed, safe and relaxing Thanksgiving.
Some other Thanksgiving quotes that I like:

"Real abundance is found when we join hands with those we love." - Anonymous
"O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness." - William Shakespeare
