Operation Holiday

When you think about the Holidays, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Family, food, eating and fun.. Right? I was coming from class yesterday and felt the strong urge to redirect my emotions back to my happy place. When I saw a homeless person cross the street.. There it goes again.. God tugged at my heart strings and prompted me to move, this time I hd no direction...This urgency was pondering in my mind while I was in transition. I then had to stop at a red-light and had another encounter with another homeless person.. He asked for money and then said, "Hey ma'am do you remember me? You gave me a couple of dollars last week." I got home and the light bulb went off.. I was having a pretty crappy day.. I was so tired from class and just wanted to go home and get in my bed. . The idea was as bright as the sun waking me up in the morning without my alarm clock.

How can I be of service to someone that has no place to go for the Holidays? How can I make sure that if they have no place to go, that they are warm during the cold? The Lord blessed me with the idea of inviting someone that I do not know into my home to share Thanksgiving dinner with and/or to start a Fundraiser to collect monies to purchase blankets and/or socks to the less fortunate.. So the question is this.. Can I count you in to do one of the two ideas?

It's not about the money, the possible akward encounter of having a guest in your home that you don't know.. The blessing is in the deed.. It's a blessing just to be...
