When I read this I thought of all those people that fill the arenas to see Taylor Swift! What would America look like if it filled Churches like the NFL fills stadiums? What would America look like if all the money spent on NFL garb would go to feed the hungry? Do feed the hungry? Overall: One in 8 households (12.8 percent) experienced food insecurity, or lack of access to an affordable, nutritious diet. An estimated 44.2 million Americans lived in these households.

I am thankful all for all those that feed the hungry for Thanksgiving, but what happens going forward?
Just maybe we ALL brag to much on Facebook what we do. I am just a simple man who preaches basic Christianity, but maybe I brag too much. Got Questions states: As part of an apologetic for his own apostleship, Paul describes some of the incredible ways God had communicated with and used him, and he emphasizes that he would boast in his weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) rather than in his own strength or greatness.

From CHURCHLEADERS:
When important people come to town, everyone one knows it. NBA stadiums sell out months before LaBron show up for game time. When Selena Gomez or Tom Holland do a personal appearance, hundreds of screaming fans will show up hours ahead of time. When the President visits your city, you can be sure the mayor will meet him at the airport, and schoolchildren will be there to give the First Lady flowers. The Christmas story shows us that God does things differently. You might even call His way sneaky. God uses people we might overlook. The most important person in the history of the world snuck into town late one night and definitely did not stay in a five-star hotel. Actually, Jesus was smuggled into Bethlehem through the womb of a teenage girl, who gave birth in a barn. That’s different. We all know the story of Christmas: the baby, the barn, the shepherds, and magi. Hidden inside that familiar story is the surprising revelation that God’s way is to ignore the big shots and use nobodies instead. More Here
