Grateful

Last night, I went with a group from my sunday school class to the one and only homeless shelter to make and serve dinner, in the town that I go to school in. It's called St. Francis house. For one thing it is a tiny shelter and to see how many people came through there for food was very humbeling. They actually had to come in shifts. So anyway while I did have fun, I also was overcome with a sense of being completly grateful and thankful to God that he has provided for me and my family the way He has over the years. I mean there were kids in there that were my age. Like I can't imagine being homeless at my age and having to rely on a homeless shelter for my meal. I don't know I have been just thinking about it since last night and thanking God. Because really whose to say that one day, in this economy, that could be me. I pray to God that it won't be, but it could happen. And last night while I was sitting in my nice and warm comfortable dorm room I was just pondering about all of the homeless people here in town and also my hometown. Going out and serving others just makes me so much more grateful and thankful to God. So that's all I just wanted to share that and encourage everyone to go out and serve somewhere and make a difference.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!!. This is really my favorite holiday great food and great atmosphere and just spending time with the family. My mom's parents came over for the Thanksgiving meal this afternoon and then after they went home we went to my Dad's parents house and had fun, played some Uno, tried to teach my cousin how to knit, and chatted. So today was fun and then I came home and watched Amazing Grace which is a very good movie by the way. Well I'm exhausted so Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
