The Thanksgiving BOTB Showdown Outcome

I’m trying out a new theme layout.  What do you think?  The previous one was okay but I really liked the one I had for years prior to vacation that suddenly gave me problems. Be prepared to see new changes over the next little bit while I repair posts and resize images until I find a layout I like.    

I appreciate you taking the time to drop by to see how last week’s BOTB turned out.  I used two different Bob Marley songs for you to choose between Give Thanks & Praises and Thank-You Lord.  

Reggae isn’t my favorite genre but it seemed fitting for the occasion with its light, cheery sound that translates to a thankful heart to my ear.  Although, Marley’s religious beliefs aren’t in-line with mine as I learned after the fact, the sentiments of his songs are representative of my thankfulness to the Lord God Almighty for every blessing He has given me.  I enjoyed both songs very much.  However, I felt more of connection to Thank You Lord and cast my vote for it.

Here’s a summary of who voted for their favorite song track in this battle.

GIVE THANKS & PRAISES – John, Diedre, Nicole

THANK YOU, LORD – Lee, Sandee, Brian, Stephen, Mimi, Ed, Me  

And, the majority declares THANK  YOU, LORD as the winning Bob Marley song for this Thanksgiving Edition of BOTB. Thanks to each of you for participating by voting and making this a fun process.  One more time, let’s listen to the song chosen by the people. 

Rounding things up, I wanted to say,  I liked Stephen’s reference of Thanksgiving. He said “Thanksgiving — I always refer to it as ‘The Gateway To Christmas’”. Isn’t that a wonderful point of view?  I love it!

Before I go, I want to say, THANK YOU, LORD  for an older but tenderly treated vehicle gifted to us. The person who gave it to us has a kind heart! Please bless him with good health and fortune.  THANK YOU, LORD for the chance to spend the day with my mom and sister tomorrow.  Opportunities are limited when there are miles between family members so I’m grateful.  THANK YOU, LORD for the gentle weather we’re experiencing.  I know this won’t last forever, so for now I’ll bask in the warm conditions because I know it’ll turn cold soon enough.  I want to say a big THANK YOU, LORD for the victorious win for Donald Trump.  My thanksgivings are many but I’ll stop with these few.  

I have two Christmas edition battles scheduled for December, so mark your calendar to join me on the 1st.  Don’t forget to join me next time for Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays.  Have a blessed and beautiful day, my friends!
