The word “thanksgiving” is made up of two words – thanks and giving, which means giving thanks. We gather around our tables, thankful for friends and family and delicious food. This year I thought of the families who lost everything – their homes, possessions, cars, jobs. Many lost their loved ones. Those in west North Carolina are struggling to keep warm in temporary housing or tents. I am thinking about them as I prepare for guests tomorrow, and my friend at Salvation Army sent me a link so that 100% of my giving would go to help the survivors of Hurricane Helene. If you would like to send some hope, here is the link: https://give.helpsalvationarmy.org/give/166081/#!/donation/checkout
Prayer
Thank you, Father God, for friends, family, comfortable homes and delicious food. Bless our time together, and help those who cannot help themselves today. Bless those who offer helping hands and food and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
