VANITY: Friend in Need of Thanksgiving Fellowship in IL
Vanity | 11/23/2011 | Michael Bugg

Posted on 11/23/2011 3:17:03 PM PST by Buggman

I've got a friend who recently got into the trucking industry and is having to pay his dues, so to speak. He doesn't have a regular route yet and it's been a long time since he's been home to Georgia. He's extremely lonely right now.

He will be in Illinois sometime tonight or tomorrow morning, heading from Arkansas to Chicago. Is there anyone in Illinois who would be willing to take in a "homeless" Messianic for Thanksgiving tomorrow?

Thanks in advance and shalom.

For my "not a ping list."

Wheaton Illinois, near the college, lots of good churches. Do a search and email the pastors.

Please tell your friend that many of us here will be thinking of him tomorrow, and praying that he finds a good meal, and even better fellowship.

Some of us “elderlys” understand what it is like to be away from home, and alone on a holiday. I will be praying for him tomorrow.

I just got a call through to a congregation in Deerfield that's willing to put my friend up before I got your message. Thank you very much for your willingness to take him in. God bless you, sir; you are a credit to our Lord.

Thank you to everyone who bumped this thread and offered up your prayers!

Shalom u'vrecha (peace and blessings to you)

Of course, if he were here in Georgia, he'd be sitting at my table in Norcross--actually, my parents' in Stone Mountain. :)

Shalom
