dear emily,
thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because the only presents are
the homemade dishes prepared by beloved family members. "all i
want for Christmas" is jenny's sweet potato casserole.
i used to resent that Christmas horned in on thanksgiving, until we
stopped celebrating halloween. the thanksgiving season now begins
in september. two lovely months of anticipating turkey and dressing.
my favorite holiday is always ushered in by the bright yellow leaves
of my neighbor's glorious gingko tree. they turn their brilliant color
and fall off all at once. i should gather some leaves to brew a gingko
tea which is supposed to enhance memory and concentration.
i love that the 'memory' tree is in its glory as we spend time with our
loved ones, remembering His goodness.
happy thanksgiving,
lea

thanksgiving." psalm 100
