More to be Thankful for

I spent 4 hours today down at the Rescue Mission helping serve Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless and less fortunate. What a humbling experience!!! Let me tell you, I really didn't want to go down there on my day off and work, but I am so glad that I did. Many people are afraid of the homeless, but I learned today that they are very thankful for this simple act. Many of them don't eat real well, other than what the rescue mission provides, but this Thanksgiving dinner meant a lot to them. It is heartbreaking to see all the men, women, and yes, children, sitting there eating like this could be their last meal. The Governor and his family also came down and helped us serve dinner, and was very nice to everyone.
I just really think that if you all have the opportunity to go donate your time to help the homeless or anybody, I think you should do it. I am really thankful that I did
