It's Thanksgiving Day here in US and we are given a day to take off and to celebrate the day with family near and far and thank God for all the blessings this year.
Thanksgiving withour roasted turkey in most homes never happens,
but we in our family are no turkey lovers, and couldn't find a whole chicken at Vons to roast this year.
So, in the humble surrounding of my home
As I punch out these words onto the screen,
Lamb marinated in herbs and spices is roasting in the oven
Green been cassserole topped with roasted onion is baking on the lower shelf
Sourcream mixed mashed potatoes and celery/mint salad resting on the counter ready to be served
And pumkin cheesecake sourcream topping and sprinkles of pecans is chilling in the refrigerator.
All the toil of baking and roasting , just four of us to sit down, thank and dine
Is it worth the time and trouble for only a few mouths to feed
Oh yes, and O yes, it's worth all the trouble
For these are the times that are stored and remembered in years to come.
Our children will tell their children how they celebrated their Thanksgiving Day in their parents' home
how they prayed and thanked the Lord for each and every blessing they had in this home.
Each day is a Thanksgiving Day for you and me
And each blessing we get from God need not be taken for granted.
It's good to set a day apart to celebrate this day with family and friends
And it's fun to roast the turkey or lamb, bake the pie, and eat and laugh with family on this special day.
