Do you have a favorite pie for Thanksgiving? Pumpkin, Pecan, Minced Meat or another?

Pecan all the way!   I love pecan pie and nobody else in my family does so I do not get it very often

My mom used to make my dad a Minced Meat pie every Thanksgiving. He was the only one who ate it. We all thought it was gross.

I was thinking about the Thanksgiving Meal Offering in Leviticus today, it's kind of a neat analogy for a Thanksgiving prayer:

The grain offering (minhah)consisted of fine flower, baked goods, or grain from the ear (Leviticus 2:4, 5, 7, 14).

This was by and large a free will offering someone would make anytime they wanted to show gratitude to God. They must have had a wonderful aroma with flour (grain) and incense and there would have been a lot of them. The scent must have filled the streets of Jerusalem often, especially when the people were required to all be there for special feasts like Pentecost. It's also used symbolically in the Revelation of prayer:

Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God's people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. (Rev. 8:3)

As I get ready to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with my daughters and grand children I'm mindful that Thanksgiving is one of the more truly Christian holidays since it is uniquely Christian and set aside just for a time of thanksgiving for the many blessings God bestows. May the prayers of the saints rise up, a sweet savor to the God who in all mercy has bestowed on us so many good things in the person and work of Christ delivered to us in the power of the Holy Spirit according to the good and perfect will of the Father. 

Grace and peace,
Mark
