We placed five kernels of corn on each plate at our Thanksgiving dinner. These signified the meal our Pilgrims had their first Thanksgiving in America.
At our dinner table, all were asked to use a kernel to explain something for which they were thankful for that day. Gratitude ranged from family, genealogy, work, health and continued on to other areas unique to each diner, including the pending birth of a child.
Cutting pies at First Presbyterian Church on Thanksgiving Day gave us another reason to show our gratitude. We met this family and another little helper along the way. With great laughter and heavy pie cutting, we celebrated in the warmth of friendship.
