That the people might give thanks

A glorious, much anticipated, occasion finally arrived this week! Yes, it corresponds with the holiday, Thanksgiving. It has no name, but we spend four months preparing for it. In the end there is much gratification, as well as gratefulness. It is the Harvest of the Turkeys. It marks the end of the poultry growing season. And this year, it was marked with wonderful fellowship of the saints. I won't go into my morbid fascination with the end of turkeys, but it was a gratifying time. Today, we enjoyed the harvest of our labors, a 27 pound tom, dressed gloriously by my lovely sister, accompanied by various and sundry articles of palatable pleasures. As we sat around the table we enjoyed the blessings God has granted our labors in food, family, and fellowship. And there was much rejoicing.
