As I make preparations to receive family and friends for our Thanksgiving feast, I give thanks for all I have. I also give thanks for all the memories of Thanksgiving celebrations past. The kids picking bread for the turkey stuffing as they watch a special on TV on Thanksgiving Eve. In the morning Mom starting preparations for the feast, then the aroma of cooking turkey starting to fill the house. The children outside foraging for nuts, leaves, berries and other interesting bits of nature to make the traditional centerpiece for the holiday table. Dad sharpening the old carving knife, getting ready to do his part.
