A Christmas Invitation

Just before Thanksgiving, I suggested that if folks have benefitted from my blog that they consider volunteering for, donating to, or otherwise helping holiday relief programs at their local parishes or churches.

We’re now a little bit out from Christmas, and I’d like to renew my suggestion: If you feel that you have benefitted from the blog, and if you have the ability to do so, please consider doing something for the less fortunate this year for Christmas (or even afterwards if there’s not enough time).

Please constant your local parish, church, soup kitchen, homeless shelter, nursing home, or what have you, and do something for those who need help this Christmas. There are more of them than you know, and you can help make a real difference for them this year.

Whether you’re young or old, Christian or not, you can be a help and can an instrument of God’s love at a time when many are hurting.

There is nothing more bitter than feeling alone and afraid at Christmas.

Help show them Our Savior’s love on the feast of his Birth.

  2. maybe he meant contact them constantly! Doesn’t your brain automatically convert it to the correct word? mine does, making me a poor proofreader.
