Thanksgiving

This is a post of Thanksgiving for everyone and everything from the weekend.  For those of you who weren't aware, Washington had invited a number of Youth Groups this past weekend for some work projects and a Bible study.  I think we had around 85 for the work projects and around 110 or so for the Bible study.  The theme of the weekend was an attitude of gratitude.  It was a very convicting weekend for me.  I've got a lot of work to do in that area.  Our giving of thanks is an issue that is close to God's heart, and too often is one we don't take very seriously.

I really appreciated getting to know new people, working at the Midwest Food Bank, and learning from the Bible studies.  As well as a group packing food at the Food Bank, we also had groups of volunteers go to a clothing distribution center and to Morton's home for the handicapped. Thanks to everyone who participated and helped out.
