It's a simple thing I'm giving thanks for today, this first of five days I'll offer up something I'm deeply grateful for.Today I'm grateful for meals. Humble meals, family meals, hot meals, short meals, fancy meals, early meals, alone meals, big meals. When I look back on the tables I've pulled up to this year, I see faces and places I treasure. I recall favorite dishes and new dishes. I see hearty breakfasts and lunches with friends and dinners small, cozy, and contented. I taste drive-thru tacos and homegrown salads, Japanese cuisine and Mom's pot roast...
As I start seeds for another year of meals, I look back on this year's and feel my heart grow heavy with thanks. Never has someone who deserves so little been given so much.

Thank you for reminding me to always give thanks.
You are so right! God is always blessing us! I give thanks for Him in my life! And all the bloggers too!
Lovely post Brin ~ but I do not think of you as undeserving at all.
You do deserve all you have been blessed with. WOnderful post!
Love your images here. Love your thoughts here. I know we've both had a tough year, yours maybe more so than mine, but isn't it fantastic that our God is always working? We may not see it right now, but we will see it eventually.
Well said, wonderful post and a great reminder to be thankful for the all we have!
Beautifully said. I remember some of those meals you served at Freeman House, not personally, through blog posts...like Thanksgiving last year. Your table comforting.
Our kitchen is the heart of our home.... meals mean so much more than just food... it means fun, laughter, warmth and memories to last a life time.
Touche. :) I've had a rough few months but I have leaned more towards looking at what I should be thankful for rather than the opposite. :)
Beautiful post, Brin.
