You are absolutely right . I deliver meals for my church every month and not only is it a Blessing to those I deliver to but more of a Blessing to me . To see some situations these folks face makes my life look like a bed of roses . A true eye-opener .

Im blessed because God allows me to wake every morning beside my wife and kids. Nothing can get any better than that.

I mean, if you have a Television to hear the media tell you how bad things are, you are still better off than a good chunk of the global population. And if you have a television, that means you have electricity, which also means that you probably have heat. Thus you have a lot to be thankful for.

Do you know what I am getting at? </div></div>

Yes, I know what your getting it. I agree America is by far the best country in the world, I just hope we can continue to keep it that way.

I also do volunteer work, although maybe not as "conventional" as some are used to, I find that having the ability to participate at all is a blessing it itself.

Speaking of charities allow me a moment to plug this one:

Operation Christmas Child
Details on this will be in The BSG Post, not sure if it's this week or next. Pick up a paper - read about it - participate.

We do a ton of volunteer work at our facility. The Special Olympics torch runs,poker runs,take donations for adults who are mentally challenged,take food bank donations (next event is the trunk or treat in Clintwood where our rides will be pimped Halloween-style and we'll be toting bags of goodies for the wee ones).

I know 82abn and I have talked about the work with Special Olympics,and I tell you that right there will touch your heart-I don't care who you are.

I think they are doing that trunk or treat at our church. What is the deal with that anyway? It kind of confused me.

When my church did that some time ago it was the kids just doing trick or treat in the church parking lot essentially.
