Yes, it's Thursday, but Thanksgiving was yesterday for us. It was Labor Thanksgiving Day, so we got the day off and aptly used it to eat some turkey and get together.
We had a baby turkey from France, gravy, some KFC, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin brownies, and pumpkin pie. For all being 20-somethings with not much cooking experience, we did pretty well. We had plenty of leftovers for everyone to take home.
I took some leftover pumpkin pie to my boss's house after they all left. He and his family were thoroughly confused as to how I could bake a whole pie and not be able to cook myself dinner. Still a mystery to be solved.
I'm thankful for friends to celebrate Thanksgiving with this year. I'm thankful to know I'm going to LA in less than 3 weeks. I'm thankful for a boss who graciously opens his door any night of the week. I'm thankful for friends back home who still remember I'm here. I'm thankful for my family who sent me Thanksgiving decorations and canned cranberry jelly.
But most of all, I'm thankful for having a reason to be thankful. I'm thankful for a God whose love knows no bounds. I'm thankful that He chose to love me enough to send His only Son Jesus Christ to die for my sins so I could stand before Him as righteous.
Love this post Kari. So true. Thank you for being a friend and I thank God that we can share our faith so many miles from home.
