Thanksgiving Challenge

Within the autumnal period there exists a special day. As in the past it was spent doing special things; Reflecting on past moments and looking forward To future moments with friends and family. Today, Thanksgiving remains true to form. We still give thanks and look forward to tomorrow. However, I challenge you this year to understand. Take a plate of food to a homeless man or woman, Or, perhaps, invite him or her in for kindness and a meal. The thanks that you receive would be immeasurable. Thanksgiving isn’t reserved for those who have turkey, it is reserved for those who share turkey, or their time. It is important that when giving thanks, you must give. How better to give, than to give to someone in need? It’s easy to allow family and friends through your door, but more so appreciated to hold the door open for others. Maybe, if time permits, feed others in a soup kitchen; donate time instead of food, yourself instead of a check. When you sit down at your table, remember those you helped; they will be thanking you and you will then be able to thank them. Happy Thanksgiving!
