It's early Sunday Morning. I have oil heating outside in the turkey fryer getting ready to fry a turkey. Why in the world are you frying a turkey in February and why on Sunday morning? Well, that's easy.
You see on Christmas Eve we were talking with my son-in-law on the webcam. While we were talking I made the statement I had to go check on the temp. of the oil. He asked, "You aren't frying a turkey are you"? I promised him when he came home I would cook one for him. He came home on furlough last Saturday and today is the day I keep that promise, sort of. I am only frying a breast, but that is because we wouldn't be able to eat a whole turkey in one sitting. He has been home for a week and will have to go back sometime this week. We are now on the down hill side of his active duty and he will home for good soon. We will miss him.
An old saying comes to mind, "Don't wish you life away", and I agree with that except in some situations. His deployment has caused us to wish the year to go by quickly so he can be home safe and sound. Some would say that we aren't trusting God's providence enough and that may well be true, we just want him home.
Today when you ask God to bless your food, thank him for the military service personnel that provide us with the security to sit at our tables in safety.
Have a great Sunday!
Oh, the oil is ready!!!!
