Caroline’s version of the reason we celebrate Thanksgiving goes something like this:
“A long time ago the Indians and the Cowboys were fighting. Then they stopped fighting and said, ‘Hey, why don’t we all eat some dinner and be friends with each other.'”
I’m not sure this is completely historically accurate so check Wikipedia before you go throwing this story around at dinner parties and such in an attempt to impress people with your knowledge of history.
For me, this Thanksgiving is especially poignant because it comes right on the heels of my trip to the Dominican Republic. As I sit around the table with my family, I will take a moment to be grateful for things I have taken for granted in years past.
Things as simple as clean water from the tap.
I am beyond grateful and humbled at the blessings God has lavishly poured out on my undeserving soul.
And I’m grateful that y’all take the time to stop by and read whatever randomness I write each day.
Happy Thanksgiving! May your tummies and your hearts be full today.
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Psalm 107:1
