I remember the first Thanksgiving on my settlement charge. One of the churches was in a farming community and there was a bountiful display of fruits and vegetables at the front of the church. And I mean bountiful! Bushel baskets of potatoes, squash, pumpkins, etc. After the service they said it was all for me. I was not only flabbergasted but wondered how in the world I would use it all. Being a bachelor who wasn’t into a lot of cooking, it looked rather daunting. I hope I didn’t seem ungrateful when I suggested that we donate most of it to the local hospital.
