Recognizing that everything we have comes from God all the time not just during the good times or once a year on our nation's holiday of thanks.
We were blessed this year to have Thanksgiving dinner with some dear family and friends. Belize doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving so it is a challenge to prepare a meal when I have to work all week. With the help of Chris and the kids I managed to get everything made. We celebrated our Thanksgiving yesterday.
The food tasted good and there are WAY too many leftovers. I already am looking forward to eating my usual salads and simple foods. Rich foods just cause me not to feel good and Chris and the kids have been laying around the house, saying "I'm so stuffed" or "I feel sick because I ate too much"......the typical things we hear this time of year. Not to mention breaking the grocery budget to fix these super rich and fattening foods.
Gluttony to show thanks sure seems wrong. Now, don't get me wrong, a special meal is just fine; but we could tone it down and use some of our "extra" to help others a bit more. We can also exercise our own self control when consuming these "special meals". Right?
We had to snuggle under the new electric blankets my mom sent down because it was so cold yesterday.
