Happy Thanksgiving

"It's not what's on the Thanksgiving table that matters but who's sitting around it."

Only God could have put together such a diverse display of personalities, place them around my Thanksgiving table and call them , "family." We are all quite different, we have peacemakers, antagonists, pacifists, observers, and pranksters to name just a few. I can say with complete honesty, that I believe that there are times that it seems that the only thing that calls us together a few times a year, is this thing called "family".

Why is there such a tug, an instinct or desire to come together? I think it is the bond of unconditional love, that we all find at the "table". Now the jokers, of the family would pipe up at this point and claim with comical voice inflictions, that it was the "free food". There might even be a snippet of truth in there, but the peacemaker, the antagonists, and the rest of the observers silently know it is the love that brings us back each year.

For those who are missing from our table, you are deeply loved and thought of today. Thank you for so many Thanksgiving memories, we plan on making more of them. ;0)
