Psalm 100:4 (NIV) Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
The holiday of Thanksgiving is not officially recognized in Botswana, (note to turkeys, this may be a good refuge to consider for next year). When I asked one of my colleagues if there were other holidays set aside for reflecting on our blessings and giving thanks, he responded that Independence Day and Presidents Day were their official days for these practices. Several of my ex-pat friends who have lived in Botswana for many years commented that the weather in November is simply too hot to do a traditional spread of turkey, pumpkin pie, green bean casserole, etc. so they have had to modify their thanksgiving feast to include dishes that don't require them to leave the oven on all day.
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving!
