So many times when we talk about Thanksgiving, we picture the perfect family sitting around

the perfect meal, but that's not everyone's reality.

And what's really important is not perfection....but thankfulness.

So I'm here with Darren, and we are downtown.

And I'm curious, Darren, how long have you been homeless?

I have been on the street for probably about 3 months now.

So, Sylvester, how long have you been homeless or out on the streets, man?

So what was it that led you to being homeless since July?

Well, I have....was in drug addiction for years.

Well, I mean, I've spent a lot of time in prison.

So that took away a lot of my life, but....

What was your best Thanksgiving ever that you remember?

Uh, yeah, it was the year that my daughter was born.

'89, cuz that's my last father's Thanksgiving.

So you got to spend Thanksgiving with him?

You're bringing you, and the kids, and everybody coming on.

We're gonna eat, and then....we're gonna fellowship with each other!

And uh....and that was....I think that was....that's what really taught me about Thanksgiving.

Maybe you're not gonna....do you think you'll see her at all this year?

Yeah, I'm going home this year to see her!

You have such crazy joy just emanating from you.

You're the perfect person to ask: what are you thankful for?

I am thankful for my family, and for my friends, and that I do have a place to stay at in this

Just the friends I have when I come to these....down here under the bridge on Tuesday nights.

You know, I had to learn to love the Lord!

Is there anything, Randy, you know we're coming up into Thanksgiving and that time where....you

know Thanksgiving and what people are thankful for looks a little different to everybody.

Is there something that you're thankful for?

I thank the Lord for all the blessings there, and the mercy, and the grace that he gives

What's something, Jimmy, that this year, you're thankful for?

Haven't....you know, even though the streets....it's been hard, it hadn't brought me down.
