Colorful Thanks...

11/28/2017

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone and now the shopping season begins for the “big” holiday we know as Christmas. But wait… Let’s stick with giving thanks for a bit longer. This special Thursday is generally spent with family and friends giving thanks for one another. As both of my daughters live out of state we were unable to celebrate together as a family but we did gave thanks for each other by text. Sometimes it is easier to say heartfelt wishes by texting, in much the same way as sending a greeting card, but a lot cheaper and faster. This year, I joined my church community for a Thanksgiving meal. There were about eighty of our church family and a few guests who gathered in our Fellowship Hall for the Thanksgiving feast. A great time was had by all!

As a teenager, I liked to take construction paper and dry erase markers or colored pencils and create pictures with profound quotes like favorite scripture verses or something I read in a book or heard on the radio. Unlike now, there were no computers with search engines, to quickly track down any words of wisdom so they came from the world around me. Needless to say, the Internet, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook now provide me with a much easier way to find quips from all sorts of online resources. Recently, I posted a picture of Mother Teresa, which also contained one of her quotes, “Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.” Facebook has a way to track this post to see how many people visit my page. So far it has reached over to 29,000 people and viewers have shared it close to 400 times already. It seems to me that even though Mother Teresa has died, her message about caring for others still resonates with people. On social media, her wise words have been shared by many people but I wonder if the people who read them, like them and share them, understand what her words truly mean?

Every Thursday afternoon at 1 pm, our 94 year-old volunteer, Margaret walks into our church admin building to answer phones, greet and assist anyone who needs it and most of all, she “stuffs” the bulletins for the next Sunday. For a number of years, it has been her job to add the order of service to the bulletin jacket, sort them according to the service times and set aside a required amount for the different groups. Whenever there is a fifth week in a month, she reminds me that we need to include the Children’s’ Home offering envelope in the bulletin as well. One week the bulletins were printed late so she came into the office on Friday morning just so she could do her weekly job. She is a real gift to our church in her willingness be a part of our church’s ministry.
