The shop was abuzz with sounds of conversations mingling with the background music and the hum of activity. No, it wasn’t a typical day at Sweet Surrender. It was our annual Thanksgiving dinner.
It was not a completely traditional spread, as we had a plethora of food from not only the US, but Russia, Poland, and Kazakhstan as well. We had a delicious turkey, ham, Borscht (beet soup), mashed potatoes, a yam casserole complete with marshmallows on top, homemade stuffing, rolls, and broccoli and carrots, and stuffed mushrooms. That’s not even including dessert!
We began the evening chatting, and then Dave shared the history of Thanksgiving. He also shared how Christ demonstrated the greatest act of love ever by sending his son to die for us. How thankful we should be that God loved us so much that he sent his son to die for us. This led us to sharing communion together. Now, after a prayer for God to bless the food and a hearty “SMACZNEGO,” we went to get our share of delicious food. Several hours later after much conversation, laughter, and excellent food, we left Sweet Surrender.
