Thanksgiving

I woke up today and saw a cloud over the Brownstone I am staying in then for a brief second the sun peaked into the New York Sky, I smiled then I prayed. I asked God to be a blessing to all those in Pasadena who need one, I asked God to give peace to those who were restless, understanding to those who are confused.

I asked God that he would reveal to us the blessings that surround our lives that we might live lives full of great fullness. Most of all I thanked God I thanked god for insight, opportunity and for every gift that I have received because this thanksgiving I am celebrating the life God gave me.

So as you all go out and prepare you meals, spend time with your family, watch the game, take two seconds to thank God for his grace, kindness and blessings. Also if you would like to be a blessing to someone else please check the list below of places you can serve food and make someones thanksgiving that much better.

THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS DINNERS-IN-THE-PARK

For over 30 years, Union Station Homeless Services has sponsored annual Dinners-in-the-Park on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Held in Pasadena's Central Park, these events bring together thousands of volunteers to serve a hearty meal and holiday cheer to less fortunate community members.

Last year we served 8.500 meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas to people who were homeless, senior citizens, alone at the holidays, or unable to afford a holiday meal.

Help make this holiday season special by volunteering or donating food or toys for our events. For more information, please call 626.240.4550 x542.
