Giving Thanks...

We had a great Thanksgiving week!  The week was super busy with seeing old friends, three meals with our families and watching a little football!  While all of that was absolutely wonderful - my favorite part of the week was serving dinner at Glen Iris Baptist Church.  Our Bible Fellowship class did this last year and we really enjoyed it and was excited to be able to serve and give back again this year.  Each person that comes through for dinner has to watch a video presentation of the Gospel and are given an opportunity to respond.  Each year they serve turkey, ham, dressing, green beans, desserts and other vegetables.  Seeing all of the people that come through always makes you thankful for what you have.  
Each year they feed around 500 people from nursing homes, rehabs, homeless and needy people throughout Birmingham.  Such a great ministry!

I served coffee throughout the night!
Michael walked around with tea and water
Our friend Liz was on the food line

Our group that was able to go this year -   Me, Liz, Jody, Michael, Daniel and Chris (not pictured - Jonathan).

All aproned up!

And it was our first married Thanksgiving!  I think Thanksgiving is becoming one of my favorite holidays since we get such a long weekend and its more relaxing than Christmas when its go go go!  We had a great time with our families and are so thankful for the Lord's provision each and every day in our lives!
