I always heard this from friends and clients that this is a well celebrated holidays here in America.
Lots of food, fun time, and according to my friend's son "a day when all you have to do is EAT" :)
In my case, I had an opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with not just lots of food but with amazing people. I had a chance to travel with my friends family they're celebrating Thanksgiving in Choctaw, Oklahoma. Whew! 24 hours road trip!. It was my first long trip ever, but it was fun and smooth travel no hassle what so ever. We passed by Philadelphia, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri. I've enjoy the stop overs too...Cracker Barrel is also around the places we passed by...I love the ambiance and country food they're serving.
Thanksgiving time, I'm so grateful that I'm surrounded by people that they let me feel so welcomed for me to be less homesick. Grandpa Gibbs and Grandma Gibbs that's how they call them, so I called them the same.:) They prepared of course traditional food for Thanksgiving such as Turkey, stuffing,cranberry sauce, corn bread, pumpkin pie, apply pie, pecan pie, sweet potato baked, salad and mashed potato. I sure forget about diet, and stuffed myself now with Turkey, Cranberry sauce and stuffing. Well friends really knows me that even back in the Philippines I always love these kind of food. :)
After stuffing ourselves we enjoyed playing foosball, catch praise , some play board games and some just chill out while drinking tea or coffee.
What so great about this experience is that being prayed over by Grandpa Gibbs (he was a Pastor in a small church) I just felt the Holy spirit was just working and truly made it a Thanksgiving!. Just speaking in tongues to merely thank the Lord for the wonderful blessings. And I just did experienced that. It was truly a memorable experience and having met people with such faith and wisdom.
I had to say that my Thanksgiving was really worth for that travel. Great people to be with, which is necessary being so far away from home. It's been almost 6 months since I was home last and sure I miss it. On the other hand, being away from home, gives me more opportunity to learn other culture.
Happy Thanksgiving!
