Thanksgiving Giveaway


I love Thanksgiving!  Although it's often overshadowed by America's favorite holiday - Christmas - it is my personal favorite.  Thanksgiving always puts me in a mode of reflecting upon the many things I am so grateful for, like life, good health, strength, a sound mind, my family, and the list goes on.  Aside from that, I enjoy gathering with my family around the dinner table, enjoying delicious food prepared with love -- and good seasoning!

While I am blessed to have all of the fine fixings that make up a great Thanksgiving feast, I am burdened by the fact that many families simply aren't able to afford such luxury.  And since Acts 20:35 tells us that "It is more blessed to give than to receive", it is my heart's desire to give a family the blessing of enjoying a Thanksgiving meal together.

As followers of Christ, it is our duty to be Jesus' hands and feet, and extend His love to our brothers and sisters.  We may not be able to physically help every person in need, but as Matthew 25:40 says, "when you did it to ONE of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" So as an extension of Christ's love, this holiday season, LRC Editing  is giving away up to $100 in groceries to a family in need.

Here is how you, or a family you know, can possibly receive this gift:

Between now and November 16th, send a one-time email to LCollins@LRCEditing.com with "Thanksgiving" in the subject line.  Include your name (or the person/family you are submitting), address, phone number, family size, and the circumstances surrounding the need for help.  I will review all submissions, and as the Lord leads, contact the family selected on Monday, November 19th.  All submissions are confidential, and the family selected will not be publicly announced.

*Rules & Regulations*
1.  Must be a resident of Mobile, AL or surrounding areas of Mobile County.
2.  No cash, gift cards, gift certificates, checks, or anything of monetary value will be given. Groceries ONLY.
3.  Family cannot be directly related to any affiliates of LRC Editing.

Please, serious submissions only.

I look forward to being a blessing to you!

In Christ's love,
LaKeisha Rainey-Collins
