Thanksgiving Day
Up early to begin preparations.
This meal is special.
Everything lavishly, decoratively prepared.
A feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
We take great care to show proper respect for the wonderful bounty which is a God given providence and this meal is a celebration of His providence for us.
Without all these good things we would surely die;
So today is set aside to celebrate His Goodness, His Thoughtfulness, His Providence.
We gather our family and friends together.
We will laugh too much.
We will play too much.
We will eat too much.
It will be so good.
There will be green beans, glazed carrots, corn and biscuits.
Home made biscuits made with fresh buttermilk that melt in your mouth.
Candied yams and mashed potatoes with gravy, lots of gravy,
Pies, cakes and puddings.
When the meal is over and everything is cleaned and put away we will rest.
The turkey isn't the only thing that got stuffed.
