All of the photographs in this post were taken at the 2008 Thanksgiving Dinner at The Helping Hand Mission in Raleigh, NC. It was an amazing day that I will NEVER forget.

 

 

The little guy pictured at the right was a so sweet. He was shy, but he agreed to pose for a picture for me.

 

 

 

The photograph below was taken across the street from The Helping Hand Mission. There was already a large crowd of volunteers and homeless people assembled for a wonderful Thanksgiving meal and clothing giveaway.

The following photo is part of the Thanksgiving Day volunteer staff with Ms. Sylvia Wiggens...the founder of The Helping Hand Mission. As you can see from all of our smiles...it is a lot of fun to serve others! Not pictured is my dear friend, Carol Smith, who also participated.

The smiling gentleman pictured below served hundreds of plates of home-cooked food...each one with a smile.

There was a line of people waiting for their turn to sit and enjoy a hot Thanksgiving feast. This little guy smiled REALLY big when I gave him the bag of m&m's...but I did not get my camera in time. Isn't he adorable?

This is one of my favorite photos of the day...my youngest daughter, Deren, with a new, little friend.

This last photo shows my girls with Ms. Sylvia Wiggens and some of the children who attended the Thanksgiving dinner at The Helping Hand Mission.

If you do not live in the Raleigh, NC area...look for volunteer opportunities in your area. There is no better way to experience the true joy of Christmas than by sharing your blessings with others.

 

May your Christmas be filled with so much peace and love...that you cannot help but give it away!

These kids are precious. I enjoyed the photos and hope that many people are able to help.  I know in New Hampshire the community has been very generous and helped out with many charitable organizations.

Beautiful Post and sentiment just in time for the Holidays.  Elizabeth, I am just stopping by to wish you a Merry Christmas and to thank you for all of your support this year on A.R.   I have to work today and have to wrap all of the Christmas presents, and other holiday stuff so I haven't been and won't be here on the "Rain" much.     You really made a difference in my contribution to my own blog and A.R.   Thank you and.....

Merry Christmas to you and your whole family, I hope you have a blessed and wonderful Christmas!

Hi Elizabeth-I can tell you are a very giving person. I recently went with friends of mine to do caroling and a little Christmas celebration at a nursing home and also for some folks that were very ill. It was such a wonderful feeling to do something for somebody that might not otherwise have much of a reason to smile. May the true reason for Christmas be alive and well in hearts each and every day. God Bless Sincerely Sharon Lee
