Happy Be-lated Thanksgiving!

This time of year is really wonderful to see people give, share and be in community with each other more than the rest of the year...why don't we do this all year long? (That's a whole different post)

Anyways, at TreeHouse we had marked a Thanksgiving Dinner for our students the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. We had a group who had volunteered to prepare, deliver, and serve it to our kids! So great, except the week before they backed out so we were without the dinner. We were really bummed because our kids really look forward to this and it has been on the calendar since August. So, we brainstormed. Thanksgiving being my co-worker's favorite holiday we were determined to make this happen. She sent out emails to her church and had several people respond with giving of food for the dinner but we still didn't have enough so I sent out several texts to some people I knew (the week before Thanksgiving). So, I heard back Friday that my friends Drew and Kelly had talked to their small group and the small group had talked to Target's Deli. They had arranged and paid for the whole Thanksgiving meal. So Target made the food and the small group donated it to us!!!! The turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, gravy, cranberry sauce, buns, and pies for 40 people! We had a feast and our kids LOVED it!!! There were even left overs that we got to send home with our kids to bless their families!!

It is so awesome to see God work through other people by giving you the courage to ask 1 simple question. In 1 question I was blessed no stress and SO amazed at what God had done. Never set a limit with Him and always be faithful and patient!! Publish Post
