As Thanksgiving approaches, the cries of the hungry and those attempting to feed them are being heard louder than ever this year in cities around the country. At Central Catholic, we have been collecting food for three weeks. Students from Marist College will spend the weekend at Lazarus House sorting and readying the donated food for delivery on the Wednesday, November 23rd. This morning in the true spirit of giving, a student whose family cannot afford to provide him lunch every day, brought in nine cans from his own family to donate to those who have less. It reminds me of the widow's mite...she gave her last penny and Jesus commended her for that sacrifice. It is in such reaching down deep that the real meaning of the "giving" in Thanksgiving becomes evident. Let us hope and pray that more people will reach down deeper this year to meet the larger-than-ever need.
