Remember it is important to mix in a little activity with your turkey and pie. Consider having a family football game or scavenger hunt to get everyone moving. Even a group walk after dinner is a great way for everyone to get some physical activity - on Thanksgiving and every day! We live near a gorgeous county park with basketball and tennis courts, along with soccer fields galore and football fields. My favorite part of the park is the one and one half mile track around the perimeter. Most everyday, I walk three miles (2 laps). I hope to be able to get visiting family members motivated to join me at the park after the big meal! However, I've already told myself not to be terribly disappointed if my idea is met with growls of dismissal! LOL With this in mind, I'm going to rent THIS wonderful movie.
"Facing the Giants" is an inspirational movie of faith which I know my parents and brother will just love!I've inlcuded some links below with turkey tips and coloring/activity sheets - a fun way to keep your young ones occupied during meal preparation. Shane and I have been having fun with many of these pages this week. Enjoy!

You are renting Facing the Giants and Bro Gay and Julee just let me borrow it. That is what I was going to do for Thanksgiving is to watch the movie too.
How about that! Great minds think alike.
Thank you, dear Pam, and may you and your wonderful family have a blessed Thanksgiving.
We all have so much to be thankful for.

Wishing you and your precious family a blessed Thanksgiving. Facing the Giants is my favorite movie.

BTW....Facing the Giants..EXCELLANT...we also ordered and bought Time Changers via MRs. B's recommend...I think it was even better..I got mine at Borders but think you could go to Susan's *By Grace*,,,and order from CBD and help them out at the same time a bit....it is a keeper too.
Hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful...safe, fun, filled with love and many happy memory making moments.
Hugs!

p.s. I LOVE Facing the Giants movie too :)
Just finished the movie Facing the Giants. Wow! what a great movie. Also, from the same production company- Flywheel. I watched Flywheel first and one of the actors in Flywheel is Brady in Facing the Giants. He also produced the movie.
I am glad I watched both by myself because I cried. Yes, I did.
Happy Thanksgiving, friend!! : ) Hugs to you!
I Love that movie, Facing the Giants, it is great. We have another one by them called Fly Wheel, again a great movie. If you like Facing the Giants you'll LOVE Fly Wheel.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
