This year we did Thanksgiving a little different and went to DFW Airport to serve Thanksgiving lunch to soldiers that were deploying overseas. It was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. Words will never be able to express my gratitude for these brave men and women and their families. My heart was so heavy as we served them lunch, sat and ate with them and sent them off. I really can't image being in their shoes or the shoes of the moms, dads, wives and children who are left behind. My eyes and heart were opened up in a whole new way yesterday to the tremendous sacrifice that they make. Our freedom is truly a gift, and this year I am more thankful than ever for it. I will never forget their faces and will keep them in my prayers as they selflessly serve our country. May God bless them and keep them safe until their families are welcoming them HOME!

Oh my goodness, Mindy. I am bawling my eyes out! The news clip put me over the edge. Wow. What a touching post. You're right... We have it so good I can hardly find the words enough to be thankful. What an amazing way to spend Thanksgiving. I am jealous you had that opportunity. How did you find out about it? Through your church? Thanks so much for sharing.
Mindy, wow that is so amazing. Thanks for sharing this... I'd love to hear how you heard about it too... Glad you were blessed this Thanksgiving
