November 25, 2010 THANKSGIVING DAY

Today is Thanksgiving Day ! Like most families in America, our family celebrated this special day with every member of the family enjoying roast turkey and a variety of goodies on the luncheon table. And the usual prayer of thanksgiving is said with much more fervor by each one before the sumptuous meal.

Our family Thanksgiving Day celebration was held in Bobby and Carla's home in Fremont. It was a most fitting place for the whole clan to be gathered since they had just finished the renovation of the house adding two rooms and enlarging the family room and kitchen. With the splendid contemporary look complete with brand-new appliances, we opt to enjoy Thanksgiving luncheon on the huge granite island in the spacious kitchen rather than in their formal dining room. To say that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal in such lavish surroundings would be an understatement!

While it is true that everyday we offer our gratitude to God for His many blessings and favor on us, still Thanksgiving Day is set aside for special prayers of thanks.
