I especially think today when lonliness is widespread and with the breakdown of community, sometimes all it takes is to visit people, get people together. It can help a lot to organise a get-together and encourage people to come, it can be very cheap, to just have crisps and listen to music or play charades and talk, but it's with the festive spirit. I was going to post something on volunteering and you've spurred me to incorporate this "helping hands" project too. thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-50887068071864782492008-12-03T00:06:00.000-06:002008-12-03T00:06:00.000-06:00Whoops!

It must be my general sense of fatigue and overwhelmed time slots. Your post reminds me that I need to reach out to others to rid myself of this and get into the spirit. You write so beautifully and I am always touched by the things you say. You bless many lives my friend!amelia sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347763981378247816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-65888691761137593662008-12-02T20:44:00.000-06:002008-12-02T20:44:00.000-06:00The people you named are exactly the ones that I w...The people you named are exactly the ones that I would love to help.

I think pride keeps too many people from reaching out.<BR/><BR/>Churches will help people and never ask what your income is. This is just my 2 cents on the situations. I know that some people feel funny asking for help, but if you don't ask, you will never get. <BR/><BR/>This season, although filled with much merriment, is one of the saddest times of the year for so many. I am praying this season that there are many opportunities to share God's love and light with others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874897254332872367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-21702012883528544642008-12-02T20:27:00.000-06:002008-12-02T20:27:00.000-06:00That is beautifully written and so true...it is th...That is beautifully written and so true...it is the working poor who slip thru the cracks and are ineligible for assistance that have the toughest times during not only this season but all year round. Thank you for bringing them up...perhaps a secret santa program might be what they need! Thanks for participating and doing such a lovely acknowledgement of some of the needs that we don't always think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
