Turkey and dressing and potatoes- Oh, MY!

Yep, it's Thanksgiving again. My all time, bar none, favorite holiday ever.
Tomorrow, I will be together with all of my family; a rarity these days for sure. I will see nephews who are now as tall as me. New braces and pimples have replaced pudgy cheeks and new teeth.

I will get to fellowship with my brothers and laugh until my sides ache. For one more blessed moment, I will watch my mom in the kitchen and it will be like I was young again, when me and the boys snatched yeast rolls while mom checked on the turkey.

Tomorrow I will watch my grown sons bringing future daughters-in-law to the table. I will see engagement rings flashed for all to see and I will watch my own young daughter as she dreams of the day one graces her finger.

Tomorrow my long distance truck driving brother will get to sit and drink coffee with me while we discuss desserts and old times. Maybe I will get to hear a good joke or two.

I will relish this time for I know that it won't always be this way. And in my heart I will say, Thank you so much Lord, for one more year with those I hold dear.
