In America a day has been set aside when we remember that our forefathers gave thanks to God for sustaining many of them through very hard times. The Pilgrim's thanksgiving was not because of over-flowing material wealth, but because they were grateful for whatever Almighty God had provided for them. It is of course quite true that one shouldn't wait for a particular day to thank God...we should thank Him every day, however, it is good to know that hearts...north, south, east and west, are knitted on this day, as we take the time to give 'Special Thanks' to our God for His marvelous and bountiful provisions in our lives. There is a wonderful satisfaction on this day in being a part of a vast, unknown amount of fellow thanks-givers. Let's Press On.

D on't you dare forget the desserts... I ndeed they are so important! N ot to mention the rolls N eeded to make them is short'n E asy on the seasoning and spice R emember...we're watching our weight O n this special day, though N eedless to say...none will hesitate T o pile their plates as high as they please H elpings in fact, might be two or three A nd depending on the taste... N 'er you ask...I'll take some home with me! K in folks and friends...talking and agreeing S avoring the moments well... G oodness knows when we'll meet like this again I nvites are not too often...do tell V isons of how it was growing up...light up faces I mparting glad feelings to our soul N ever to be forgotten are the warm embraces G atherings like these make good memories as the young turn old D inner is at last ready and we're called to slurp and clank A s we congregate...heads bow, giving our Provider 'His' Royal Rank You, You alone O God deserve our Praise, All...our heartfelt...Thanks!

This has a real feast-feel and the atmosphere is wonderfully celebratory with such a lightness and embracing spirit. I love the build and the way you gather all to stop and remember round the table. A very focal point in time, thoughts and place. Indeed, memories are made of this and so important to know where we have come from, where we are and ultimately on who/what we depend. Have a most wonderful Thanksgiving, Joyce. You truly know the spirit of it. xx

Thanksgiving Day, America for once should let every bell there is to call the people in behalf of every War Veteran, because they are hungry for recognition.
