The Hawkinsville Dual Bridges
Hawkinsville is a great, small, community located in Middle Georgia. The Golden Isles parkway goes right through the middle of our wonderful town. While most cities on Highway 341 have been bypassed, due to the location of our dual bridges, Hwy 341 comes right through the middle of our town.
Thanksgiving
It was a dozen years ago this week. I went on a mission trip to Honduras. I saw such a degree of poverty that i had never witnessed before. yet, i also saw an appreciative and happy people. I saw four boys sharing one lolipop. I saw entire families waiting to get our discarded ICE and have what amounted to an ice cream party. I was touched. Then I come home that same week to a Thanksgiving spread of my grandmother’s doing that would have feed the entire country. It was so good, but for once, my grandmother’s cooking was difficult to eat. All I could think about was how blessed i really was, and how unappreciative I often am of these blessings. We live in a great country and really don’t know the meaning of sacrifice. yes, we have sad moments and tough times, but comparatively speaking, we are all so blessed. I hope you and your family realize your blessings this year. Mainly, realize the sacrifice that Christ gave – His Life – so you and I could enjoy in His fellowship – The biggest blessing of all!
