You make a list.
You buy the ingredients.
You invite some family and friends.
You set your table.
You decorate your home.
Maybe, you'll have a crackling fire too.
Your guests arrive.
You laugh.
You tease.
You hug.
You smile.

Do you pause,
do you think -
of the soldier
who does not
enjoy Thanksgiving Day?
He might be on duty -
in the barracks -
or alone.
I discovered an organization that
provides Thanksgiving meals
to active-duty military stationed in San Diego
who cannot be with family or friends for the holiday.

Would you make a donation to help them reach their goal
of giving 200 military members a Thanksgiving Day to enjoy?

$20 will cover the cost for one soldier/sailor.

Everything changes, yes, even Thanksgiving.
Let's rededicate this old day
To helping the hungry, the poor and the homeless
So all may be able to say--
Thanks for our health.
Thanks for our hearth
And the bounty that grows from the ground.
With our loved ones near we bless the year
That's brought us safely 'round.

Thank you for sharing this! I am going to make a donation, ASAP!
What a wonderful idea!
Love that second photo BTW - full of interest.
Thanks for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/11/basilica-shrine-of-saint-mary.html
Wonder if this is the same organization that came to our door when we lived in L.A. for donations to send packages for the armed forces overseas... anyways, we can't think enough about them! Thanks for visiting me:)
A marvelous way to share your Thanksgiving bounty.
What a wonderful blessing for those that are without this holiday season. It is not enough that we count our blessings...we must put them to use.
$20 is such a small amount to provide someone with a meal and to know they are remembered and honored for serving our country. Thanks for the contact website.....
What a great cause! Thanks for sharing and spreading the word.
It is quite shocking really that in this modern day and age so many people are still hungry and poor in what is the richest country on earth. Thank you for sharing a positive message
