This next week people across America pause to give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy. We have all heard the term “a self-made man.” However, in spite of the popular belief that one can pull him/her self up by their bootstraps, God is involved every step of the way. There is nothing we enjoy in life that has not come from our creator. Even our very existence is from Him.

Being thankful is something that comes from within the person. They recognize that in our world we not only need each other, we also need to help others along the way. Because of that I am thankful for those who make an effort to feed those who do not have the resources to feed themselves. Our community may not be able to make a life better, but it can make one day better by filling an empty stomach. Millions of dollars and millions of hours have been spent in an effort to eliminate homelessness to no avail. Some are homeless because of bad choices others because of circumstances. We do not need more money or more organizations. We simply need tender
hearts who will help another person in their need.

Come worship with us Sunday, and remember: EVERYONE is welcome here.
