Small Things Count

You had a full-FILLING Thanksgiving and may even have some leftovers in your freezer.  Now it’s time to think about about Christmas dinner in only a few days.  Maybe you can invite that relative who has been on the outs with much of the family.  Your invitation may lead to reconciliation and rediscovery of a “new” person.  (You or he may have changed.)   Think about someone outside your family who will otherwise be alone because she has no one locally.  Or someone you know who is having a hard time of it financially or emotionally.  Even that neighbor couple whose health prevents them from doing much celebrating.  This year, let’s open our arms and celebrate with more of our brothers and sisters.
