Friday Gazette: Thanksgiving Prep, Encouraging News, Live Chat, Quotes to Inspire, Giveaway, & More! by Gordon Ramsay

Good Morning!
I have some wonderful things in store for you in this week’s Gazette! If you are a person of faith, I hope you’ll enjoy my coffee chat. I talked over some serious heart matters with regards to Bible study and life as a believer, including tips on how to navigate some tricky waters!
I’ve found some WONDERFUL recipes from friends and am sharing a few of my own as well. This issue has lots to encourage, uplift, and hopefully add a few chuckles to your day as well. Thank you for being such a special part of the SouthernPlate family and thank you for letting me be a small part of your life!
Gratefully,
Christy

Encouraging One Another!

Most of y’all have probably seen the trailer for the movie about Mister Rogers that is coming out. I’m not a big movie person but I really want to see that one and I feel we as a country could use the positive influence I know it will offer. Well, this sweet story just melted my heart. Mister Roger’s precious widow went to visit a Pittsburg hospital maternity ward and the nurses dressed all the babies in cardigans, little brown pants, and crocheted booties made to look like Mister Roger’s iconic sneakers. How precious was that? I’m so grateful for the positive people in our world who manage to touch our hearts and lift our spirits simply by how they live their own lives. We are truly blessed.

This week on Southern Plate

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! This week I shared:

If you’re planning on using these recipes for your Thanksgiving menu, I encourage you to print them out today. Thanksgiving day will bring over a million people to SouthernPlate and with this amount of traffic, the website could slow down some, so print them today to have whatever you need handy.

This Week’s Coffee Chat

Thank y’all for tuning into my coffee chats over on my big page. Each week they’ve become increasingly awkward for me because I’m speaking on a public page and they have become more and more focused on Faith. Why is this awkward? Because I try to keep in mind that I’m not in the fellowship group (most people are there for recipes) but essentially, I’m speaking to the group. As a result, I feel the conversation has been a bit stilted.
Today, though, as I was filming, it occurred to me, “Why don’t I just do these in the group? Instead of here?” And so that is what I plan on doing going forward.
Future coffee chats will take place exclusively in the Front Porch Fellowship. I will share them in my Gazette on Fridays but you can only watch them live in the group. Thank you for allowing me to do these!

Friday Gazette! Encouraging news, Great Quotes, Recipes to share, Family Photos, and more! by Gordon Ramsay

GOOD MORNING Friends!

I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. I really enjoyed our live chat this morning on Facebook. We discussed the fruits of the spirit and today’s fruit was kindness. As always, we went off on many rabbit trails and ended up encouraging one another and building each other up! The video is below if you’d like to watch it. As we move into the weekend, my prayer for you is that you take time to slow down, savor your blessings, and maybe watch a sunrise and sunset – or two!

Thank you for letting me be here!

Gratefully,

Christy, Phil 1:12

PRINTABLE CHART FOR READING TIMES FOR THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
I created this chart because I thought it could be very handy when it comes to reading entire books in one sitting.
More importantly though, I think passing on a copy to a few friends might help them see that the Word is not as daunting as we sometimes think it is. Perhaps this will encourage each of us to spend more time in the Word.
