Leftover Turkey

Thus begins another holiday (holy day) season, my favorite time of the year.  We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and pumpkin pie.  You could've made a Hallmark commercial at our house yesterday.  Perhaps the traditional stuff becomes even more important to us as we live here in Mexico.  For everyone else, it was just another work day.  We had classes at the Bible School and again today.  No long weekend off, no football games or parades on TV. 

I may have balked a little when we had to pay $1.50/lb for the big bird, but I savored every bite of the wonderful, traditional meal that my wonderful, traditional wife prepared.  They say you don't know what you have until it's gone.  You appreciate the little things more when there's less.  You learn to be more thankful for what God has given you. 

Hey, pass the leftover turkey!
