Of course, here's another moment of thankfulness of food, but since today is the day of our church's annual Thanksgiving Fellowship meal (we try to have it early enough to avoid the crush of the holiday itself), I thought I'd be thankful for the potluck dinner.
Box Lunch, Carry-in, Covered Dish, or Pot Luck (add your own version if it didn't make my list), whatever you call it, this tradition is one that has many things for which to be thankful. Most obviously is the best dish that everyone brings from home. The food is delicious. Everyone can find something they like even if they don't like everything they find. Dishes vary from the simple to the gourmet and everyone brings a bit.
So, besides the good food is the offering that is brought on behalf of every family. And cooperation is the name of the game. I am thankful for the food, the cooperation, the fellowship, and the fun that is had by everyone. So this evening and today and always, I am thankful for potluck dinners.
It Is We Who Must Be Bent
