Well today was the annual celebration of Thanksgiving. Last year we were in Missouri with Ken's sister and husband. This year we were with Ken's children and spouses. It was a good meal and fun to be with everyone. The kids had a blast and adults enjoyed football.
During the meal we all took turns going around the table and telling what we were thankful for. It was very touching to hear and most everyone was thankful for family and the older ones for good health. Seems the young ones were thankful for the Mayflower. Guess that is correct, without the first settlers we would not have a first thanksgiving meal to celebrate.
Lord, it is very nice to be in great company with friends and family. We enjoy our freedom and that means so very much. We are also so thankful for the fact we are free and enjoy grace and mercy. We love you and will never forget what you did to give us everything we have. Amen
So as I keep hiking along I reach for a snack bar from my bag. I get the pumpkin nut one. It reminds me of meals with the traditional dessert - pumpkin pie. Yum. Can't wait to be home and enjoy some home cooking. As great a hikes can be there is something to be said for home, food, family and a bed.
