This past weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada, so Monday was a holiday. Most stores and all of the businesses were closed for the day and many people like to spend the day having a special meal, usually turkey or ham, with their families or close friends.
Our house was no different, four of our kids and their spouses and children (thirteen people and one puppy) came over for turkey dinner. I usually cook ham, but this year I decided to try turkey. I’d forgotten that it’s tricky to cook without drying out and homemade stuffing is time consuming to make. Next year we’ll be back to ham.
The other thing about turkey is that everyone feels tired afterwards, especially when it was eaten with mashed potatoes and gravy, carrots, corn, and of course pumpkin pie and ice cream. So we ate for an hour or so, then everyone took turns resting on the couch for a while.
We took pictures, played games (darts and board games), caught up on what’s happening with each of us, and generally enjoyed being together.
Thanksgiving reminds us of the many ways in which God has blessed us and we are indeed thankful to Him.
