Thanksgiving Monday

This Morning - after a Thanksgiving Day Mass - the Knights of Columbus boxed all of the donations from our Thanksgiving Day food drive.  Over 35 boxes were filled and will provide nourishment for those who are experiencing poverty these days.

This was a wonderful outpouring of care and concern.  Where we are able to connect our faith to our lives and share our resources and thus provide for someone else. 

It was a great reminder of the early Christian community in Acts 2:42-47 - where each received according to their need, and provided according to their ability.

Thank you to everyone who made donations.

After the boxing of the food, my Dad and I travelled up to Owen Sound to watch the Attack play a Monday afternoon game.  My Godson has been out of the line up for a few days - feeling sick and less than 100% so that he did not go on the road trip to Erie, Pennsylvania on Friday and Saturday.  I got a text message from Geoffrey on Saturday saying he was feeling better, and that he figured he would play Monday, but he did not.  He was in the building, and had skated on the ice earlier in the day, but was "riding the bike" in the dressing room during the game.  The Attack played 2 good periods, and won the game 6-3.  Their new Import draft pick from Minsk, Belarus had a hat trick, and the young guys are contributing - playing good positional hockey. (That last sentence was from Dad!)

Dad and I treated Geoffrey to dinner, and then we headed home.  One of the unique things about the way that the business community in Owen Sound supports the team is that whenever there is a Home Game for the Attack - the local Tim Hortons Stores have an "Attack Doughnut" and I finally purchased one! Well actually three - but one was for Dad tonight and one for the road tomorrow!
