Thanks Before the Turkey


This year we gave thanks over a large turkey, with lifted hearts, with people we love. As I ran here and there and set the table, and fretted over stuffing, I realized...

What a blessing to have a home to welcome people to....
What a blessing to have those people!
To have a table people can sit together and hold hands to pray at...
To buy beautiful food to savor and to gobble gobble up!

How wonderful to know that before you even invite the people, before you roast the turkey, before you set the table.... you already HAVE much to be thankful for! The perfect (or not so) meal cannot make or break it.
