Thanksgiving

Every year it seems that Thanksgiving gets pushed aside because of the clamor to get more Christmas shopping in.  Most stores now open on Thanksgiving.  How unfortunate that in the United States a day set aside to thank God for His blessings becomes another shopping day to build up more of our stash.

I am grateful for my experience on that first mission trip to Tijuana, Mexico in the spring of 2006.  What an eye opening adventure!  To see the plight of folks 20 minutes south of San Diego still burns in my mind.  Each year when I visit, I get my memory jogged again as to what I have and what most of the world doesn't have.  It makes me grateful and gives me the desire to bless others with some of what God has so graciously granted.

Thank you for joining me in helping my family down in Mexico!  This work in feeding and educating children could not be accomplished without your participation and generosity. 

May God bless you richly this Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
