Hey everybody it's a Brady and
It's Saturday, and I'm in I don't know where I am really. I just woke up this morning
Thinking that I need to there's a I had an itching to serve
When and I and I got this from the I've really picked up on this concept talking to the great folks here at the
Big heart brigade see right behind me is I have no idea was walking into this this this right here
there's a hundred turkeys cooking in that and let's see there's a hundred turkeys cook in there and
Another hundred turkeys cooking over there so right. There's about three hundred turkeys cooking and
They're they're gonna feed about
1,500 1,500 Birds this year .
When I got here, I was like you know what let me let me do some community service
It's because it's refreshing for your soul. It's uh
when you've
spent
23 years
serving
To just turn that off is it's it's difficult
And so I met some really great folks so Mary Ann who I just Facebook friended I am going to tag her in this
Come to find out she's been doing this for over ten years
Or actually longer than that and she told me how they started right behind me in this little tent
They started in this little tint with
Just a few hundred Birds
And and and then they grew to these huge gas fire pits
And there's another great couple over there on if you see them. They've been doing this for 25 years
Do you see them in that tent?
That's Mickey and her husband and he's a retired
fire department and
For 30 years and Mary Ann who I'm gonna tag. She's a retired police department and so
What that's told me is that?
that people that have already had a life of services you you can't just just turn that off right and
And so I was so glad to come and just talk with
them and
And be a part of this. This thing's grown they said they've had
2500 Birds one year that they've gone through this year. They're down to 1200 only not because of demand, but because the donations are down
The donations are down because this place the South, Florida spin in with some hurricanes
They've got a lot of refrigerator trucks that have been sent to Puerto Rico
There's just a ton of logistical things, but this this these burners get used once a year just
for this specific project the big heart brigade
So that's where I am
Doing we're gonna in about five more minutes
We're going to be pulling these birds out of these these cookers
And they're gonna go into these buckets and there's a whole tent right over there
filled with people who are gonna carve up all these birds and
Again, this is what you see here is
25 years in development
25 years it didn't start off this big, but it started off with with servant leaders like like him (Scott Fetterman)
all right that that's how this this gets built and
and so anyway
I just wanted to share why it is
You never know what you're going to get yourself involved in when you reach out in to meet up to go serve your community
But then when you get there and you become a part of something and you can hand back to your community it
feeds your soul
can feed your spirit and
There's enough things in this life in this world that are going on right now that you just need that camaraderie you need that
that that's team unit that spirit of
mission accomplishment and doing something greater and serving something greater than yourself, so
anyway, I'm going to sign off and
It's almost Thanksgiving
And that's exactly what this project the is for the big heart
Brigade. That's what this is for to give back and
And to be a part of something bigger than yourself
Thank you
