The family moves about the kitchen to collective prepare the Thanksgiivng meal
The waft of food simmering on the range fills the air
The wood in the fireplace is ablaze and emits warmth for all near
The children run about and scatter throughout the house
The dining room table is set, and the centerpiece's lighted candles glow
The family is seated around the table; the turkey is carved and all the accompaniments fill the space
The room grows silent; a prayer of thanks and recollection is offered
The families across our country are brought together on Thursday to share thanks and community
The best part of Thanksgving is the love we receive being part of something greater than ourselves
Happy Thanksgiving!
