Thanksgiving - Feeding the People

Deacon Speakin'

Podcast #157

All of us cook, I think, in part to feed our daily hunger, but just as important and perhaps more so, we cook and eat to feed our spirits, to keep us all in the same orbit of life. As the generations turn, as our family expands, the table and its simple pleasures – never just the food- but the food and the talk, the food and the laughter, the tears, the jokes, the memories, the hopes – still hold us in place, well anchored in a safe harbor. There may very well be another depression or endless other troubles, big or small, lying in wait for us. But rather than freezing in fear about what may come, we try our best to live and enjoy the lives we’ve been served forth.
