Thanksgiving is all about spending time with your friends and loved ones that you can count on to spread joy. We give thanks to God for our strength and for being together in a world of peace and happiness.
We sit at a table filled with delicious food, showing how far we have come as strong, spiritual people. So let’s pass the turkey, duck, chicken, fish or tofu (hey, have it your way!) with stuffing or dressing and with a lot of gravy poured on top. Add a cup or a big spoon of crispy green beans or another green (I prefer collards) and enjoy. Don’t forget the creamy mac and cheese; dairy or vegan, it doesn’t matter. They both taste great — depending on who’s fixing it, of course.
Then take a stroll into the cold streets and show your love by giving food and something to keep warm to people who need help. Come back inside and gather together around the couches to watch one of the best sports — football, American-style — and jump and cheer while you munch on chips and dip, cheese and Slim Jims. But, save room for the sweet potato and pumpkin pies, the favorites in our house.
