So… I’ve always thought about helping feed less fortunate people on Thanksgiving. Thought about it, but never did it. I was hanging with my buddy Tanner this week and he said he was going to help out a mission downtown. I decided to go. I didn’t know what to expect. Todd, Tanner and I arrived there and just started unloading boxes of canned goods and frozen turkeys. We hung out with cool guys like Rickey & Bernard and women like Pastor Marian, Michelle and Mother King. This was a totally different experience than I have ever had and i really enjoyed it. It was sensory overload! Especially when the russian ladies arrived with their dog (don’t ask) Pastor Marian is a great lady. Before we began handing out the boxes she asked me to pray.. Then she asked Todd to say something about being thankful. I think I stole his thunder! I love ya man! Tomorrow as I am with my family and we are eating great food, i will remember the cardboard box full of canned goods and rice and peanut butter and jelly. I will remember the people who stood in line to get these boxes. Some of them high and I’m sure getting stuff to sell, Some of them genuine and  very humbled. I didn’t feel emotional or accomplished while I was there. I felt love.  I hope that something we may have done or said will encourage those people to be thankful tomorrow. I know I will be…Happy Thanksgiving
