The Old Scout

"And so for Thanksgiving, I am serving a pressed turkey loaf with instant mashed potatoes and the yams that come in a cooking pouch and, of course, canned cranberry, which is better than anything you can make yourself. And mince pie from the bakery, with Reddi-wip.

As the Psalmist said, it is God who hath made us and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. Come unto his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. For the Lord is gracious; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

In other words, get over it. Lighten up. It isn't about food."
