HAPPY THANKSGIVING
It's Thanksgiving Day in the United States! A day to gather family and friends around a table laden with delicious foods. It's almost decadent, the amount of calories we take in on a day of feasting such as this. I guess it's one of the few days of the year when we go all out, spend maybe hundreds of dollars, to set out this much to eat all at once. I daresay, most families could probably eat for a week or two on the amount of food that's prepared for this day.
It's all done in love and fellowship, though, and if your family is like mine, at the end of the day many of the foods will be divided out and sent home with the attendees. It's a way of sharing the bounty that stretches through the coming days.
There will also be foods that will be carefully packaged and stashed in the freezer for meals later on. Those will make prepping the future meals faster and easier.
There will also be many families who will take all their fresh leftovers to a shelter or mission, to give some joy and fellowship to those who don't have a home table to gather 'round.
Think on these things: We are blessed beyond measure and often don't realize it. We go through our daily activities, sometimes mumbling and complaining, not realizing how bad it really could be for us.
Let's carry the attitude of gratitude with us daily, throughout the year, and the heartfelt sharing, as well.
