Serving Others Thanksgiving Archives

Thanksgiving comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man, it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. ~Edward Sandford Martin

Thanksgiving is about so much more than football games, gathering around a groaning table of food, and watching parades. It is about remembering all you have been given and taking the time to give to others.

This year there are so many that need to have us reach out and remember them. Please take a moment to think about something you could do for someone else.

If you write a blog post about it, please share it below. I would love for you to link it back to this post. It will let others know about this link up and may inspire them to serve others too.

What a joy it will be to see how you chose to make someone’s Thanksgiving special!

I will randomly select one person who links up to receive a $5 Starbucks card.

What did we do?

Walking for Charity

JDaniel and I participate in the Mission Backpack 5K and 1 Mile Walk. We did the 1-mile walk along with a dog friend JDaniel made. Thank goodness there was a lady who brought the dog along. JDaniel loved walking with him.

Mission Backpack sends backpacks filled with food home with elementary-age children on Fridays. Many of these children don’t have a lot to eat when they are out of school on weekends!

The entry fee we paid to walk will go toward food for the backpacks.

Sending Cards to Troops

Ladybird Lane offers a feature called Crafting for a Cause each month. This month the cause is Operation Cards for Soldiers.

This is wonderful project involves creating Christmas cards or writing an encouraging message in a store-bought card and sending them to:

Operation Christmas Cards

PO Box 102

Shrewsbury MA 01545

Cards need to arrive by 28th of November.
