At church this morning, the Pastor Emeritus was conducting the
service, since the pastor and his wife are on vacation. We had a guest
speaker who was talking about his church’s coming Thanksgiving. This
speaker told about a woman who called him who wanted to have a
Thanksgiving dinner with her kids, but she did not have enough money.
The speaker said that his church ordinarily did not bring Thanksgiving
dinners to people, and so he recommended that she try Catholic
charities. But then he decided to give her some of the leftover
turkeys, and people brought her potatoes and other things.
That’s the church at work.
