So sorry this published late, but thankfully, it is on the same day! ... Sunday, according to Christian calendars, is the first day of the week, and deemed a day of rest. The above photo shows a restful scene, recently, on Lake Higgins, as the sun was setting in the direction of Lewiston Road. It is as if the lake was honoring the day of rest. In Greensboro, the lows today and this week will be in the 20s, with the highs in the low 50s. Considering it is late November, we can't complain. On Thursday, the weather should be overcast, but not rain; a good day for Thanksgiving and travel. For Thanksgiving, we have pre-ordered a full meal for six, turkey, ham, sides, and dessert for six from Spring Garden Bakery. There are so many places that are providing pre-cooked meals. We'll take pictures of what we ordered and show you once it is served, in case you want to plan ahead and order from them for Christmas.
While many of the opportunities for a Thanksgiving meal this year have already passed, there are still places to get free food and to volunteer to help others. For example, on Nov. 22, Lawndale Baptist will give a free turkey and $25 gift card to the first 1,000 families. The parking lot opens at 6am. On November 23, 2022, the Church on 68 could use help with their Thanksgiving initiative and will have food for those in need (see HERE). The GCS public schools are open Monday and Tuesday, perhaps you could help someone at a school. Gift cards are always appreciated. Be creative in your approach to helping. Perhaps a neighbor could use some cheer- and a plate of food. Perhaps you don't want to be alone. Serve and have your soul nurtured at the same time. Helping others can help us feel as calm as Lake Higgins on a still, late-fall afternoon at sunset.
Happy Sunday!
