Happy Thanksgiving!

What a great Thanksgiving this has been!
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner
with all our kids and grandkids.
We are so very blessed!
As Thanksgiving Day draws to a close
I'd like to remind everyone to try make
a difference in someone's life.
There are so many people hurting
today - physically, emotionally,
spiritually, financially - the
list goes on and on.
We have an opportunity at our church
to assist folks in our area in providing
their kids with a few Christmas gifts.
As I attend gymnastics with our
granddaughters Megan & Sydney I
see a list there of families they are
trying to assist - heartbreaking stories!
Maybe you can do a little to help
someone out! If you want to
help someone and don't know of
anyone - please give me a shout and
I will try to direct you - we do know
some single mom's and also some
single dad's who could use a helping
hand. And of course the Tree in
our church for helping with some
local families too.
We thank God for our many blessings,
and we hope that our attemps to bless
others is pleasing in His sight!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We too are blessed and grateful. We also want to remind people that donations can be made to their local food banks too. Canned goods and staples are always welcome but cash works well too! Our local food bank is All Faiths Food Bank and it is unreal how litte it actually takes for them to feed a family! Give back and it is returned to you 10-fold.
