This Thanksgiving was my first one away from home. Although, I missed my family, and the tradition of eating together that we have celebrated for as long as I can remember. I had an amazing day. I was invited to a neighbors house last week. I was very excited to receive the invitation.
I went over to Mrs. Rouse's house around two and did not get home until almost nine. I had a blast. Started off by playing some Xbox with one of the kids from S.A.Y. Yes! Then from there went and watched some football with one of Mrs. Rouse's relatives, Casandra. I enjoyed great conversation with her as we watched the game.
Then came one of the best parts of the day, the food. We had all the fixings. There was also some foods that I have never experienced at Thanksgiving. One was collard greens; although, I have had those before. The second was chitlins. In case you don't know chitlins are pig intestines, and they are delicious. The whole meal was amazing, and the fellowship within the meal was very enriching. After the meal some sat around the table and talked others enjoyed the Dallas/Redskins game, and the kids played video games. The whole experience was a huge blessing.
I had worried about what I would do for Thanksgiving, but I was very thankful to be invited to have Thanksgiving at Mrs. Rouse's house. I felt as though I was part of the family. As I was on my way out the door Casandra invited me over for Sunday football games. It was a great experience. I left full both physically and emotionally.
Thanks for reading! May grace and Peace follow you.
In Christ,
