Is it turkey dressing or stuffing?

Who’s to say? There is a difference. Not all cooks stuff the bird.

Thanksgiving dressing (or stuffing) serve as spiritual reminders.

Luxurious dressing is provided by the Father.

“I will rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a groom puts on a turban,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels (Isaiah 61:10 NASB).”

Have you dressed in what God provided?

Many dress up for holiday gatherings. His children always know what to wear.

“But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts (Romans 13:14 NASB).” 

Maybe your mom stuffed (filled) the turkey with dressing. 

She knew the family would be full and satisfied after finishing her huge meal.

Christ followers are Spirit filled.

“So then, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, in which there is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father (Ephesians 5:15-20 NASB).”

Yes, always giving thanks!
