At a time when most American families are about to feast on another Thanksgiving Day meal, more and more individuals and family are are scared about where their next meal will come from, or are not able to pay their bills, or do not know when the financier will arrive to repossess their only means of transportation. And this situation is not showing any signs of improving any time soon. In fact, with all the talk of not extending unemployment insurance for millions, the present condition might just get worst.
UCC Pastor, Chuck Currie's recent blog speaks to the faith-based efforts to directly speak to, and act on, the issue of poverty; an issue which only seems to grow more drastic with each passing day. It's well worth the read, as we are about to gather around tables all across the United States, for another Thanksgiving celebration.
Only problem is that for an expanding number of Americans there are less chairs at the tables, and no celebration.
