This past Sunday, we had popcorn, cheese and apples as per usual during the evening, but we got to share this feast with our friends the fortneys. We watched charlie brown’s thanksgiving which I was hoping the kids would enjoy. But I didn't expect the peals of laughter coming from the youngest two kids there. They were letting loose belly laughs, mostly at the physical humor. Near the end of the video, the characters all pile into the back of an old school station wagon where the seats face each other. Like the kind that we all spent countless hours in carpooling to swim practice, soccer, church, school, going camping etc. Anyway, as the characters on the screen were piling into the couches, Charlotte Fortney said “why is there a living room in the back of the car?” It was our turn to belly laugh. This thanksgiving, we have much to be thankful for, big and small. Big in the sense that we have our freedom, we have friends, and we have a Savior who continues to guide us through life to our ultimate destination. And small things. Like belly laughs with our kids.
May your pumpkin pie be interrupted at least once this season by a huge unexpected belly laugh.
