Amen. Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving. For me, I celebrate this by sharing in a festive meal. I was very joyful this year to have eight people around our table. I usually try to find family or friends to gather around the table. In my home this means that there is a turkey to be cooked and veggies to prepare. Oh and hopefully a pie to bake.
