meals

Here is something cool that is happening in Arkansas City. 
We have a story about it in Thursday's paper, which is Thanksgiving Day. 
Your paper will be delivered tomorrow - Thursday - morning as though it were a Saturday paper.
Anyways, three churches have banded to together to offer meals three nights a week, and they hope more churches will get involved.
Right now, New Life Fellowship (Monday), First Presbyterian (Tuesday) and St. Paul's Methodist Church (Wednesday) are offering the meals. They are from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
They are getting around 100 people a day. It is geared toward people in need, but anyone can come. They accept donations, but if you cant afford it, you are welcome to eat for free.
They don't ask for a donation.
This is the kind of thing I like to see happening. Someone saw a need and figured out a way to meet it. Others have become involved and it is growing.

I waited for the invitation but:
I'm thankful for:

The ability to drive a few
minutes and see:
Deer and Turkey
Quail and an occasional Pheasant
Cows and other livestock
Plowed Fields and the hint
of green of next years wheat
and haybales.
The Big Sky country of KANSAS
Sunsets in the Spring and Summer
over waves of an Ocean of Green
turn to Gold Wheat.
And the Sky so clear on a cold
Winters Night that you could
reach out and touch the Stars.
The small town atmosphere and
frendliness of the people in the
area.
They believe in hardwork and in
fairness and that a mans word is
still important.
The quiet gentleness of the
elderly. Their eyes and faces
show their grace and beauty.
The energy of the youth.
Lastly, the fact that we can
share our journies only at this
point in time!
