THOMPSON THANKSGIVING

This Thanksgiving Adam & Jill graciously offered their vacation rental in northern Virginia as a reunion spot for the Thompson Family.  We came from DC, VA, FL, & GA to all meet for a couple of days of cousins reacquainting (some meeting for the first time), dad & sons watching football games, "daughters" sharing crafts and stories, quality time with Mama, Daddy and Ellen, great food, fun, gift exchange, and memory building.  We even celebrated two birthdays in our clan...Liz & Gabe!   I am hoping it becomes a yearly Thompson tradition.  Thank you, Adam & Jill!










































































SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES!!!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Suwannee Station Baptist Church is the collection center for several counties here in Suwannee County.  We processed over 16,000 shoe boxes in one week!!  Lots of hard work, mixed with lots of good fellowship!  Our lil church gave over 500.  Great ministry by Franklin Graham's organization.  Proud to be a part of making Christmas special for many children who have so little and sharing Jesus' love through a few toys.

Also had the opportunity to participate in handing out bags of food to some less fortunate with Lisa and her crew from "Love INC"  (Love In Christ).  Steven shared a few of his magic tricks...always a hit with the kids!

Shoeboxes filled with goodies and pack with prayers and love!









Took three 18-wheelers to haul it all away.








Bikers help every year with our packing


Dedicated & prayed for our boxes


Magic time!


Thanks Lisa for inviting us
