Prayer Stories
A Malian Thanksgiving
Mitch – a newly arrived journeyman among the Bambara people of Mali - sat down for lunch on Thanksgiving day. His hostess brought him the meal and set it before him – not on a table, but on the ground. Goats wondered past. Chickens had to be shooed away. And there, in the midst of mud huts, an ocean away from his family, Mitch dipped his hand into the bowl of rice with his host. Both of them shoveled it into their mouths with their fingers – the Bambara way. Mitch looked around the village at the women pounding and the babies crying. Shea nuts were roasting on the fire, and their sickening odor filling the air. Shea nuts are great for making skin cream, not so great for aromatherapy. “So, this is Thanksgiving in Africa,” Mitch thought. And he was satisfied.
