Things have been quite busy at home and work the past few weeks. It has been busy enough to “think about” writing the next blog but that is about it. With Thanksgiving week before me, there is a break – Thankfully.
With that in mind, there is much to be thankful for. In his letter to the editor Friday, Jerry Burgess pointed out a number of good things about Concordia. You can’t list them all. However, Jerry did a very commendable job of reminding us of the value of this special place.
The past couple of weeks, my wife Susan has been involved in promoting a mission’s ministry of Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child. Susan and several others organized the local church memberships to prepare a Christmas present for children of Third World countries. Folks put a number of toys, hygiene necessities and school supplies in shoe boxes that will be sent to children, some who have never received a present before. Today, we took 701 shoe boxes to the Salina “relay point” from our area. The boxes will be shipped to Minneapolis, MN and processed to be sent overseas.
One of the things to add to Jerry’s list is our generosity.
