Today I heard on the news that on Thanksgiving Day there will be more than 10,000 homeless in the Houston area being served a Thanksgiving dinner. 10,000, ten thousand...ten thousand. Tears come to my eyes thinking in my home town that many mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, are without homes and food to go home to. I get to have everyone at my house for...what Hudson calls....Turkey Gobble Gobble day, I get to put together the food in a working oven and on a working stove. I am not sure if I have ever thought anybody did any different? Not to mention if it is 10,000 in my town I can't even begin to understand the total number for around the world.
I can say next year, since Trenton will be ten, I will hope to be one of those volunteers not only passing the food out but passing out love to everyone who does not have a warm home to celebrate Thanksgiving.

I can't wait to hear about your experience serving to the homeless next year. We did Meals on Wheels a couple years ago, that is something you could do with the whole family too. I highly recommend it. I can't wait to do it again when I don't have three little little ones.
