Thanksgiving means many things to many people. Most of us give thanks for having a tight knit family and friends who gather around to celebrate good fortune. We share a huge feast and minutes later we are napping, visiting and laughing with those closest to us or glued to the TV watching football. We are so fortunate to be surrounded by people we love and who love us and to have our table overflowing with wonderful food. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I love the simple and profound fact that this unique time of gathering with family and friends is shared by all Americans and celebrated around the globe wherever Americans may be. Just as Thanksgiving belongs to everyone who calls America home, so do the blessings, freedoms and opportunities for which we can be grateful. The day is beloved by every man woman and child who ever went over the river and down the road to Mom and Dads house for a piece of pie. As I break bread with my family I always give thanks to the Lord for all his goodness he bestows on us all. He is the true master gardener, I am but a vine in his garden. The fruit I bare comes from his grace and goodness.
You are so right about Thanksgiving, it is about family and being THANKFUL, I just wish everyone could or would fill the same then the world would be a better place.
