Be Thankful
It is Thanksgiving time again and at this time of year it is a time to reflect and consider what am I Thankful for? It is real easy to say we are thankful for our home, family work and friends but reality sets in just traveling around the city and seeing those in need. Our friends that help with the rescue mission said there attendance has tripled the last two months. This week Layne witnessed a line at the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen that went for a mile just for breakfast. A line longer than we had ever seen. It is a sign of hard times and being Thankful means so much more. This Holiday season do what you can for those in need, have you ever been hungry? homeless? out of work? You can buy a Turkey certificate at Harmon's for 10 bucks and Harmon's will match it for the Road home meal. Donate food to the food bank you never know you may need it one day, give coats and gloves to someone who needs it, and when you see that bell ringer give. Yes, be Thankful truly Thankful for all you have!

This is so true, I have been thinking along the same lines lately. It always feels nice to give and be thankful that we were able to give!
IF YOU ARE JUST GIVING DURING THE HOLIDAYS TO BE 'GOOD AND NICE'..THEN YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR HEART. CHARITY SHOULD BE A YEAR ROUND THING...OTHERWISE YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A HYPOCRITE. MAYBE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR PEOPLE SHOULD RE-READ 'A CHRISTMAS CAROL'. IN THE END..SCROOGE LEARNED TO KEEP THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS ALL THROUGH THE YEAR.
very true wizard, You are so wise!I do give all year we have served the men at the rescue mission, made sandwiches for the salvation army and given food, clothes to the road home, fixed sprinklers for the rescue haven. I have had a home of service but many do not. it has become a crisis in the last two months and people are whiney they need to look at what they have and think of those without then life looks grand!
