I literally have 4 articles ready for final editing and then posting…but…not going to do it.

Why? Coz I decided it is the last few days before Christmas and I don’t want to detract from this precious holiday.

I am going to share a message with you today and another tomorrow. Tomorrow the title is something along the lines of “Toilette & Tractor”…bet that got your attention.

Today is a somber message but one we’ve seen coming. On 12/12 I mentioned that the food banks in our area, as well as around the country are in desperate need of help. Families are hurting big time! Families need food assistance…and food banks are desperately short of food to help those families. I encouraged you to donate to a local food bank to help out. I hope you did.

Yesterday I received an email from one of our local church leaders. It stated that there are a significant number of families that are in financial need right now. Those families simply don’t have enough money to pay bills, buy food, and to have any kind of Christmas for their kids. They were asking if we could purchase a gift card of any amount and give it to our Bishop so he could pass it along to those families in need.

Folks, this country is hurting…it is hurting really bad…it many, many ways. Some of those issues are beyond our capabilities to do much, if anything, to help. But, we can help out with this one.

I am asking you to help out those in need financially or in need of food. I don’t know your circumstances or your capacity to help out. I don’t know what the needs are in your area, but it can’t be much different than the rest of the country. I am asking you to help.

Please give grocery store gift cards, Walmart gift cards, anything… drop off a bag of food -or two or three bags- to a local food bank, drop a $20 bill into the Salvation Army kettle…please just do something.

Have compassion, clothe the naked, feed the poor, help show what a disciple of Christ is capable of. We need each other more than ever.

If you aren’t sure how to help…pray about it. Ask God to show you how you can help, who you can help, when you can help. He will answer that prayer.

Thank you,
AH
