This one of the many the many Thanksgiving dinner I will be having tonight. I will also have gravy on my turkey and sopping up the gravy with my dinner roll. .
Today, I have an early start. I’m going to be making the dinner circuit. Many of my friends have invited me to their house for dinner. One of my favorite memories of Thanksgiving was at the dinner table. All my relatives and family friends were there. My father would say grace. “Thank you Lord for all of us being here today. Now let’s eat!”
It makes me laugh. My mother looked like she wanted to choke him but we laughed it off and started eating. Today’s post is going to be short. I have a busy day in front of me.
Three things that make me happy and that I’m thankful for.
1. The friends that I have made here in LA that have become family to me. They have been gracious enough to open their homes to me.
2. As I walked home from the metro last night. On the side of the road was a homeless man who made a make shift tent out of cardboard. I remember when I was homeless. I said a prayer for him to get off the street and a prayer of thanks for me as I entered my apartment and embraced the warmth of my apartment. I have a safe place to sleep. Which is truly a blessing.
3. At this time in my life I can actually say I am actually thankful for with genuine sincerity. That feels pretty good. As my son would say “Awesome Sauce!”
