Letter to the Editor

Thankful for Hampton
To the editor:
    As I pen this, it is Thanksgiving, and I am once again grateful that I live in America – in a small farming community – in the wonderful and beautiful state of Iowa.
    We’re grateful for all of the friendly people who will greet you with a smile and a “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon,” even if they don’t know you.
    We’re grateful for our bandshell park, where people can gather to listen to beautiful music played by people who volunteer their time and talents to bring pleasure to others.
    We’re grateful for the church we attend, Faith Baptist, where we can gather with like-minded people to freely worship God.
    And, today we’re thankful for all the wonderful men, women and young people who gave of their time, their effort, their resources and themselves to prepare and serve a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, free of charge, to the public. The food was very good and everyone involved wore a smile as they served.
    Yes, Hampton is a small farming community. And yes, we do lack some of what one might find in bigger towns or cities, but one thing our little town is big on, is heart!
    So thank you Hampton, for being a place we’re proud to say we are from and always glad to come home to.
Stephen and Jan Blood
Hampton
