This year it’s
my family’s turn to have us for Thanksgiving. Being that my family lives 4
hours away, we swap the holidays with the Shaws and Drazins every year. This
year is Drazin Thanksgiving and Shaw Christmas, and next year will be the other
way around. I always look forward to Drazin Thanksgiving for a few reasons:
1. Great homemade meal—whether it’s my
mom or my Mimi cooking the meal, it’s always a yummy spread made from scratch. No
boxed Stove Top stuffing on this table!
2. Time of reflection—my dad always
leads the family in a time of reflection on God’s blessings. We each take a
turn sharing a Bible verse that was key to us this year, and saying what we are
most thankful for.
3. All my siblings in one place—it’s
hard to get all my siblings together at once, especially since three of them
are brothers with more exciting things to do. But for the holiday they all
come, and I get extra time with my sweet sister-in-law. West and his cousin Mina
will get to spend time together. Sadly this year my sister will not be with us,
as she is in Belize and is saving her plane ticket money for a Christmas visit.
I hope your
Thanksgiving is marked by good food, good conversations, and the goodness of
God.
Blessings!
