Sometimes we get so caught up in our own worries(I know I do), that we forget about the fact that there are many people out there with far less than us.
I was watching CBS This Morning and there was a segment on about a restaurant that Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorthea started. There are no prices on the menu. There is a suggested donation of $20.00 per diner if you are able to pay that. If you can pay that, you have bought your dinner and the dinner of someone who couldn't. As you look through the room, you cannot tell who paid and who couldn't. Dorthea explained that it's because those that are hungry are not who you would necessarily think. It's not something you can "see". These are people who you sit next to in church, or families at school.
They also cooked using farm to table ingredients which helps the local community, and if patrons can't pay, they can volunteer to help in the kitchen. Maintaining one's dignity is huge!
This blew me away. Coming together as a community to lift each other up, and feed people. I would eat there in a minute.
Helping others, the true meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas!
