Tonight we held our first Thanksgiving Dinner for the scouts and their families. We were joined by 2 very special guest families: the Thaxtons and the Hoekmans. Curt Thaxton is currently serving in Iraq and Keith Hoekman is serving in Afghanistan. The scouts served dinner to everyone and we had the opportunity to give thanks for our blessings. The opening prayer pretty much says it all:Dear Lord, we give thanks tonight for our many blessings, including the food we eat, the lives we live, and the family and friends we love. Let us think of our military families who had an empty seat at the table this Thanksgiving and remind ourselves to be thankful for their sacrifice, not only at Thanksgiving, but everyday. God please continue to bless us all during this holiday season. Amen.
Many thanks to Lori Hoekman and Melissa Thaxton for allowing us to share this celebration with their families.
