A “Reach Out to Others” Ping!
So sweet.
God Bless you. I just began that outreach with a more or less cloistered hibernating bear. who Id pretty much lost touch with over the past several decades.
Thank you.
I always read the day after Christmas about the wonderful outreach people do but it’s too late for this year. I enjoyed fixing a Christmas dinner for 11 people yesterday but I saw a program here in town to provide Christmas dinner for elderly people who are alone. I’m putting that on my calendar for next year. The kiddos can do Christmas dinner.
If people have families they should take care of their families. Ignoring your family to reach out to strangers is not right.
I have two sisters who didn’t even buy their kids presents this year because they were too lazy/busy/distracted/insensitive. These kids are sophomores in high school and in college. I grew up with a lot of idiot activists who spent more time taking care of strangers than taking care of their own families. I devote myself to my family. When they don’t need me, I might seek out total strangers to “help.”
My nephew, a neurosurgeon, had a car accident and broke his back and shredded his arm. His 12 year old daughter was killed. This happened on Christmas Eve when they were returning from church. His two sons, wife, and mom who were in the car are alright.
It was a sad Christmas for us.
I’m sure you were a blessing to that person.
My kids didn’t get Christmas gifts. Instead they will get an Epiphany gift!
Prayers for your nephew and grand niece.
Excellent visual.
Make sure you do it and don’t put it off, they remember.
I am so sorry, that is awful. I am praying.
Masses said for my kids and their families.
Thank you.
***sigh***
That’s the best, although maybe meaningless to the grands.
How horrible! Prayers up for your nephew and for you and the rest of your family.
What city or town did the accident occur?
...sometimes details can assist toward specific prayer.
