And I'm not talking about any foods in particular that I'm grateful for, although if I was, chocolate would be on the list. And ice cream. And twice-baked potatoes and tortellini and sweet and sour chicken and hot scones with honey butter melting on the top . . .
*ahem*
Like I said, though, that's not the point of this post.
What I'm really grateful for today is that we have food and we get to experience the joy of eating it and the variety of tastes it offers and the company of those we gather with for meals and the delicious aromas that fill the house as our favorite foods are baking in the oven.
I love food, and I imagine God didn't have to invent it, or at the very least, He didn't have to invent such a rich variety of tastes and textures and smells and just general goodness.
But I'm grateful that He did. And what better time to be thankful for food is there than at our Thanksgiving Day feasts next week?

Aw, this is beautiful Jenn. And something I haven't thought to thank Him for. ♥
