have been opened, the wrapping is thrown away and the dinner dishes have been put away, let us hang on to the spirit of the holiday. GIVING.
THORMINC is thankful to all who gave to men and women re-entering our community for Christmas. Your gifts went to those who had no other gifts coming from family, but you stepped in and that made a great difference. Thank you for seeing the vision and giving ex-offenders a chance to work, re-intergrate, and live in our community. Thank you for giving ex-offenders a second chance. Thank you for your donations of clothing, food and gifts during this season.
Jesus said:
Acts 20:35 – I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
He also said:
Mt 26:11 – For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
Let us remember that sharing and giving is a year long event. Many have already begun shopping for next Christmas. While doing so, please drop something extra into your basket for ex-offenders. Those donations go a long way and are so desperately needed.
THORMINC has been told that we are doing a good work. With your help we can achieve more. We are asking you to join in for the year 2008.
After the presents have been put away for the night, remember how blessed you are and that somewhere in Jacksonville, there are those who have no presents, tree or home.
Christmas is just this one day but we have another 364 days to give of ourselves to those who are less fortunate.
Please, pass this on to 5 people on your e-mail list.
