Is it any wonder that Thanksgiving and harvest time goes hand in hand but there is something really luxurious and indulgent in harvesting a bounty you didn’t work for - in fact one that is the direct result of being negligent. I didn’t worry about trimming and weed whacking and because I didn’t do the chores I am rewarded. It reminds me of the parable of the sparrows who don’t toil but are provided for. A lesson in not sweating the small stuff.
Even harvests you did plant and tend are luxurious and indulgent, aren't they? I mean. it's not like we have the power to make anything grow or ripen and fill with sugar.
