Speaking of being thankful, and giving thanks, Cousin Jim reported that he had the best thanksgiving in recent memory. It seems that Rev. Sandi tricked him into helping the FUMC folks put together meals and then helping Steve deliver them to those who couldn't get out. Jim enjoyed the experience and learned a lot from his co-workers and, even more from those who were "served." He actually got outside himself and gained some needed perspective. The experience enhanced the rest of his day spent with family and friends. He's thinking it would be good to do such things regularly, and not just on holidays. I think he's right. I hope he and the rest of us do it. Jesus, and Buddha, for that matter, were largely about compassion and empathy and not about rules and beliefs.

Cousin Jim, I am sooooooooooo proud of you.
Since Jim would be the first to suspect a trick, I think he went with clear expectations. He was being who we all think he is. Thanks to Reverend Sandy for leading the way to a fine day.
Dorothy, you're proud of me? Who'd a thunk it? It means a lot. Thanks.
Patti, thanks for the praise & confidence. You're right, in part. I did know that I was going to deliver meals & that I'd have to ride with Steve. It wasn't nearly as bad as you'd think.
Well, Jim, you've almost learned to accept a compliment. Good going. Now try taking off all the armor. You weren't tricked into anything. You like Steve and always have. There was nothing bad about it.
Mary:
You're such a girl.
