The Best of Thanksgiving

The table adorned with shiny silverware.

Candles in place before the festive affair.

The small flames, bright lights, leave sparkles like a holy hymn.

Family will gather for a feast with holiday trim.

It’s almost Christmas so the mood is so gay.

They gather to dwell on the meaning of this day.                                                                            

Thanksgiving is not about holiday food.

It’s a celebration of thanks for good things received that we cannot elude.

All those things that come from our Heavenly Lord,

            and,

            to him, and only him, we owe so much more.
