This coming Thursday is Thanksgiving here in America, and many people like myself and Pastor Brenda will be blessed with a loving family and more food than we could possibly eat.
Let's take a moment and think about those who are not as fortunate. Many of know a local organization that is helping out on Thanksgiving, giving people a good healthy meal who might otherwise not get one.
I was inspired to post this after receiving an e-mail from David Shelton, a pastor and author in Clarksville, TN. He sent a note out about a group in their area, H.O.P.E., Hispanic Organization for Progress and Education. This link tells more about them, including how you could help.
The organization I help out in the Washington, DC area, Food and Friends, is having their own Thanksgiving event they could use some help with.
I'm encouraging readers here to post a comment with information about a group in your area that could use some help feeding people on this holiday, a celebration of a bountiful harvest (it's true, check your history books).
If you want to help someone have a better Thanksgiving this year, you'll have several options. I encourage you to choose one.
