Thanksgiving – giving thanks & eating

22.11.2024

Lots of food, autumnal decorated tables and great time with others – we were able to experience this on 22nd November 2024 in SMD. But why? We celebrated Thanksgiving, the American version of a feast to give thanks with lots of great food and even greater people. There was a wide variety of food, ranging from American “sweet potato marshmallow casserole” to Romanian “pies” and we all enjoyed this good food. Spending time together and eating food brings people together and it was a good opportunity to exchange and spent time together. But thanksgiving isn’t only about the food, but also, as the name hints at, about giving thanks. We did this too, by writing down things we are thankful for and putting them on a pinboard that is now decorating our clubroom. So, we thought about this and also why we are thankful and if it is based on outer circumstances or based on God being good and that we can always thank Him. It was such a nice Thanksgiving evening, and we left it not only with full bellies, but also with full hearts. How about you – what are you thankful for?
