Happy Thanksgiving!

I wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! I truly hope everyone has a wonderful time spending the day with their families and friends. I am thankful for my husband and kiddos, and a day like Thanksgiving just reminds me more. I look forward to eating, football, then eating some more! Then maybe, just maybe, MOM can actually take a nap! Then off to the movies with our kids and friends for a Thanksgiving movies, (with the rest of Tulsa I am sure.)

So, again, God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!

John 3:16 Needs your Help!

Hey all! I wanted to let you know I spoke with a friend of mine who helps with John 3:16. Her and I used to volunteer there with the youth in the area on Friday evenings. She asked me to share this:

John 3:16 is up 12% in the number of meals they are needing from last year. They are expected to feed thousands between Nov 24-28 and then they are expected to give out 5,500 turkey baskets to needy families!

They are asking for frozen turkeys and canned goods at the mission at 506 N. cheyenne ave from 7 am to 7 pm seven days a week or at the family and youth center at 2027 N cincinnati from 8 to 5 Monday-Friday. Starting on November 21 Under the Sun Garden Centers will accept the turkey donations as well.

Canned Food Drive

Hey all! Just wanted to remind everyone that the OU/OSU "fight for the best" team is still on through November 30th! Take your canned goods to any Arvest Best and tell them which team you want your goods to go to and help your local community as well as your favorite team! Go Pokes!:)

Or, there are several local food drives going on in our community. Check with your kids schools or just stop by any food bank and donate! Lets get everyone a meal this Thanksgiving!

ADA and Walgreens

Some of the local Walgreens is teaming up with the ADA for National Diabetes Month this month and offering free sugar checks as well as A1C checks! I went on Monday and I was 98! Alright! I spoke with the pharmacists and he said they have found what they think to be a type 1 through this process and several type 2's! wow! The next check is at Walgreens in BA on Thursday on 71st and Lynn Lane! 9-3 p.m.

JDRF Christmas House

The JDRF Christmas House was beautiful on Sunday, despite the rain! Santa was there in full gear and willing to hear all of the Christmas Wishes! People were scooping up the decorations for sale, which is helping to fund the cure for kiddos with diabetes! I hope you all had the chance to stop by!
