The day before Thanksgiving one word Horrendous if you work in a food store. I worked 8-2 with a fifteen minute break. By the time I left I felt exhausted. In all of that on the way home I saw a sign that read "that if you need money for Thanksgiving meal drop in" it was at a car dealership near me. What an amazing blessing to many hurting families, this chap was genuine. I spoke to a friend today who was in the same church as me sadly to say when her mother died no one called her. It is sad in the world we live in that few demonstrate Christ.
As we look at the coming holidays. I am reminded of how many people are without jobs, single mom's struggling, homeless people walking our streets. Older people in cold homes alone.
As I grumbled about the weather been warm, my friend and I were reminded by another "at least it is not so cold for the homeless". A true reality to be thankful.
So in all of the struggles you are facing take a moment to give to another or least a call and say at least one thing you are thankful for.
I am so thankful that I have my mum and my family. Thank you for reading my blog and may in this holiday time you find away to give.
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
