Lessons from Paleo Recipes.
There are many big things in life that cause us to be thankful. Health, wealth, new life, success, joyous celebrations, reunions, forgiveness, sacrifice. All of these create emotions of gratitude. Yet every day, quietly surrounding us are the sides. The little, almost insignificant events, that fill in the small minutes of our lives give us a plenitude of thankfulness. The quietness of a moment, a smile from a friend, the tender touch from a child, these are the special "sides' of life!
As I am writing this I am singing, "Give Thanks" by Don Moen.
Give thanks with a grateful heart
The big items of ham and turkey are fabulous- but the sides stole the show on my table. Below are the savory recipes.

Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
As I made a Paleo Thanksgiving meal the importance of the sides were reinforced in my stomach this week!
