Who doesn’t
love it when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her friends over to Charlie
Brown’s for Thanksgiving? Linus, Snoopy
and Woodstock help Charlie Brown put together a quasi-feast of sliced buttered toast, pretzel sticks, popcorn,
and jelly beans. Each year our
homeschool families from church get together and celebrate a meal of
thanksgiving together.
The Gungan family has always hosted but with their recent move to Oklahoma the
Hunt family graciously opened up their home.
To the delight of everyone, the Gungans drove down for the afternoon. Lunch was filled with all the traditions of
the 1973 holiday classic with a few additions like meatballs and brownies. The kids enjoyed Nerf wars, basketball and a
few games of chess while the moms caught up around the dining room table.
It was a fabulous afternoon for all and
to quote Linus, quoting Elder William Brewster, “We thank God for our homes and
our food and our safety in a new land.
We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and
justice.”
Here are a look back at previous Charlie Brown Thanksgivings:
I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge I Corinthians 1:4-5
