Today was a marvelous day! Many of you had family over for a great time of food and fellowship. If you did then it took preplanning to make it flow smoothly. I for one made my list, asking my family what their favorite requests would be, so I could make them. One of my sons loves pumpkin pie but likes it best with cool whip. So I made a mental note. My husband likes creamed potatoes. Not just mashed potatoes. There is a difference in what I make. I do not like potatoe anything from a box. Then I love cranberry/ not the jelled kind, the kind with cranberries. So, that was done with my request in mind. I love turkey, so it took getting mine thawed over the last few days and then injecting it, and marinading it over night. With all that done, I sat down and wrote my self a list out for my last run to the Supermarket...
What does it take? Planning. Great things could happen without planning, but when it comes to holiday time, it must be that plans are in order. Our God is a God of order. He planned the entire Calvary issue from before He created the earth. He knew what was going to happen, and He did not just off the wall decide ...oh I think I will have to go down there and fix everything. No, He planned these things before the earth was ever created...
So plan, and make it better than it could ever be possible. Plan to go to heaven. You are not going to get there by accident. Its going to take planning the trip. Love and Blessings and Happy Thanks Giving from Dr. Bruce & Dana Dartez Klein, Apostolic Theological Seminary. www.atseminary.com

Sister Klein's Praline Recipe/ Old time Creole. I do not use Brown Sugar...note ....different.
I know the title is bragging but when I make these as gifts people rave about the buttery taste, and since we have pecan trees in our yard I get to make them with fresh ingredients...yum, yum...but don't eat them a lot or you'll end up not able to pass through the door and have to have your car and coffin special made.
4 1/4 c.sugar...I use organic sugar..but you can use white if you can't get organic, but honestly you will be missing that special taste because organic has a hint of molasses taste.
2 c.milk(canned evaporated milk is the best taste but make sure you cut it with water like the label reads or it's too rich.)
1 stick butter(real butter not margarine)
1 tsp.REAL vanilla extract(if you can't get real vanilla in your area
take one vanilla bean and split it and place in (half pint)small bottle of Bourbon and let cure at least two weeks(wear a scarf and dark glasses when you purchase it..hehehe. This is what real vanilla is. The alcohol will dissolve in the cooking)
2 cups Pecan halves.
In a large heavy pot, mix 4 cups sugar, milk and butter. In another very small pot, melt or brown about 1/4 cup or less of sugar(this is what gives pralines the brown color. We do not use brown sugar)
When the large pot starts to boil, add the small pot of sugar, stirring
constantly.
Bring to a soft boil stage and immediately take off of fire. Add vanilla and pecans.
Stir until it starts to turn a dull color, and you feel that it is getting hard to stir; you may hear a cracking sound!
Pour on waxed paper.
Note: When I make these I line cookie sheets with wax paper and turn them out on these.I use a large stainless steel cooking spoon and about a spoonful like this is enough for each praline.
They do not take long to cool. I store them in tins or give them away in glass jars. These are fantastic and this is the recipe the older Acadian women make.
