           Brent's Thanksgiving Celebration

          © 2024 Brent Allan Winters

 

 

Thanksgiving Day has come and gone and I've spoke to many friends since yesterday, and ask them how the Thanksgiving meal went. In all cases I discovered, not only did Thanksgiving Day go good  but, it was a moving experience.

 

Among my closest friends:

One couple cooked for about 40 people. Two turkeys, a ham. and all the fixings. The guests arrived before noon and stayed till just before midnight. Christian folk. They gave thanks. Put away some of their manners. Dug in and enjoyed the meal. 
Another friend in New England told me he cooked for a family: mother, father and half a dozen children that have been driven out of their home by a local catastrophe and a false criminal prosecution of the father. That ended with him broke, having paid. over $40,000 in attorney fees over the last few years. He said that  he'd never had such a satisfying Thanksgiving. 


Susan and I went to one of our sons and spent Thanksgiving day  with him, his wife, and three children. His wife and mine rustled up the fixings, and cooked a Cracker Jack of a meal. Had a feast with turkey, stuffing, sweet tater pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and mashed taters The only thing missing was the succotash. But given what we had, I didn't suffer over no succotash. We returned  Thanks and dug in. Thanksgiving dinner is not complete if it's all devoured. So, today, we have enjoyed an abundance of leftovers. The accommodations for this meal weren't all that fancy. I won't give you the details, but will say that my boy is homesteading on raw land. Undeveloped and unplowed. His accommodations were certainly not luxurious. But the experience was Priceless. 

 

Thanksgiving has always carried special meaning among my kith and kin. But nowadays it seems to have more even more meaning in my circles of friends and family than before. "Tis holiday that has retained its meaning:" Thankfulness. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
