Clarke helping Clint with his first time on a playground in Ontario, NY  Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother) "Plentiful Ponderings" In reflecting upon the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving and the plentiful portions of traditional, yummy foods that most of us will consume, I am equally reminded that our Lord is not a God of skimpy portions!  He loads blessing after blessing upon us, and not just once a year! A common concern when gathered together with friends and family during seasonal festivities is whether or not there will be enough provisions to go around, but never with the Lord!
