It made me sad to think that someone would be grateful for food, something that most of us don't think about. So I'm grateful I have my job, a warm home and food on my table , so many dont
I will be working helping to feed anyone that needs a free Thanksgiving dinner , I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving
and that is what the giving in Thanksgiving is all about.

Thank you losto for sharing this. Not having kids makes hearing these stories heartwarming. Your daughter is blessed to have such caring in her. I suspect she got it from her mom and her mom did brilliantly in nuturing it.

You have a tender heart, GM, and nothing wrong with that. Last weekend, I took my 11 year-old to shop for the Operation Christmas Child boxes. We have done them every year as long as I can remember, and she has always loved picking out the toys and other goodies to go inside. This time, as she picked up the box, she commented how sad it was that there are kids that get nothing for Christmas except this one little shoebox full of tiny gifts. It really hit home for her - kids who have nothing. I kept telling her how blessed they would be, and excited about what she chose, but she commented over and over, that it was sad that they would be excited over a coloring book and new crayons, or a little box of candy, or a new toothbrush. I am sure she felt good about doing something, but she was really, really sad that every child doesn't have a big tree with lots of nice gifts underneath. I love her tender spirit, and I think she will always have a giving heart.

Truly gives me joy, when I can help someone..So, I know how good you felt, and also know how your recipient felt. I've been on both ends.
