The family gathered around the Thanks Giving table with it's abundance of types as foods of many colors and aromas filled the air along with the din of family chatter. With Great Grand Ma, four generations.

Men Folk shouting drunken orders at the TV as if believing their Couching will change the outcome of the football game.

Woman Folk proudly carrying platters of their Special Recipes to add to the already over burden table.

The Children running around the house, playing, shrieking with joy.

As the family is called to the table, Great Grand Ma, who is the senior family member is to deliver Grace. She starts with Thank you O' Lord for the Bounty which we are about to receive. God has been good to my children, and my children's children.

As we prepare to eat, take a moment to appreciate how fortunate we are and realize that not all God's people are so blessed. That we have become complacent in out lives. Remember that the good we enjoy today comes from the good of those who came before us. Let future peoples say that of us as well. This too be Thankful for.
