Giving Thanks
As the thanksgiving holiday approaches, and a mod ends, reflections of life are bound to occur. As we all get caught in our busy lives we often take many things for granted. Our jobs, our families, our abilities, are all things to give thanks for. It says right in the word ‘restaurant’….restore. As we get caught up in our lives, we take many things for granted. Now is a good time to pause, and give thanks. I encourage us to be a kinder, gentler group, conscious of our place in society,and willing to help those who are less fortunate.
That leads to my next thought: A bunch of my staff were bid on recently, we took a pie in the face from the highest bidder. What was the purpose, you might ask? We raised money to buy baskets for Thanksgiving for our own students who have some needs. This was driven by a group of students, all we had to do was show up and take the pie, they took all the money raised and went shopping…..this week will be a happy Thanksgiving for some of our struggling student’s families. This is the spirit of giving thanks and taking part in helping. We had another group go support the Salvation Army’s feed the homeless drive, we restore yes we do.
