Thanksgiving Dinner Clean Up
A minister was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners
who he knew as being an unkempt housekeeper.
When he sat down at the table, he noticed that the dishes
were the dirtiest that he had ever seen in his life.
"Were these dishes ever washed?" he asked his hostess,
running his fingers over the grit and grime.
She replied, "They're as clean as soap and water could
get them".
He felt a bit apprehensive, but blessed the food anyway
and started eating.
It was really delicious and he said so, despite the dirty dishes.
When dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside
and shouted, "Here Soap! Here Water!"
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
