Taste of Hope '12

I can not begin to thank everyone who made the "Taste of Hope" on November 11, 2012 possible.  It was an amazing evening.  The "Taste of Hope" is a Thanksgiving celebration & dinner.  The Celebration Church Women's Ministry brings people from the area homeless shelters and rehab centers in Johnson City, Kingsport & Bristol to the church to feed them a Thanksgiving meal.  Julie Voudrie was the featured speaker this year and she did an amazing job sharing her personal life and tying it in with the story of the woman at the well.  Special thanks to Central Buses, Leigh Sexton & Phyllis Runyon.  I did not think I would be needed to help this year and at the last minute a table host was needed.  I was at the church delivering fabric for our upcoming Sole Hope event and was able to jump in and fill the spot.  I was blessed to sit with the ladies from the Grace House in Bristol.  I continue to pray for each one of them as they continue on there nine month journey of healing and freedom from addictions.  I was truly blessed beyond measure and the message was exactly what I needed to hear.  Have you ever volunteered to serve others and then felt like you were served more.  My cup overflows with blessings :)  Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34
