Each year Americans across the United states celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving. Many people who live far from family members travel long distances to be with their loved ones on this day.That is the best thing about Thanksgiving; spending time with family and sometimes with friends from across the world. In this case some from Africa and some from Sri Lanka. A little bit like Christmas but not really. I have learned that most families follow the tradition begun on the first Thanksgiving when the Pilgrims first came to the shores of America seeking freedom. The day is full of patriotic feelings as some parade in the streets. Many Americans give thanks for their shared blessings as a nation. Beside the roasted turkey, I think it is the time spend with family, the laughter and the awesome games and long walks that follows after that truly matters, although many have their own traditions that they follow each year. Then there is the huge roasted turkey. The meal is big and complicated but the Bradsher family could realistically pull off roasting a massive bird and cook all the sides. Brian was the cook of the day and he did an awesome job!
I woke up with a smile on my face this morning because I was celebrating my very First Thanksgiving, the American way, on American soil!
Wow... I have SO MUCH to be Thankful For!
Since I will never be thankful enough
for my family, for my children and all that the Lord has done for me, this
morning I was just simply thankful for the Bradsher family. Surely this
has been a year of great blessings, change, great opportunities, love and
unending grace!
They say sometimes you don’t appreciate what you have or the
people who made a difference in your life until you stop for a moment and look
back.
The day stretches out
before me, full of life, excitement and great people to meet. And surely it was more than amazing!
