They're back! And they've got leftovers!

So there I was, thinking I would have one more day to recuperate from this bronchial infection (again), when the door opens and here comes Lily and the rest of the family. I didn't really need another day, and I get to spend this evening with the family AND this year they have LEFTOVERS! And for us, that mean turkey tetrazzini! YUMMMMMM!

Here's the "before" and "after" picture of our Thankgiving Dinner.

We had quite a crowd. Almost like to the old days!

After dinner, the "girls" took a walk! I never realized how outnumbered Lorenzo and I are, until I saw this picture!

Of course, what Thanksgiving Day would be complete without a nap? Here's Sarah and Lily complying with the unwritten rule.Lily, meet Santa Claus. Santa Claus, meet Lily.

"I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor:
the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.

Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul.

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy".
