Have You Been Blessed?

Most who are reading this today have been richly blessed. If you doubt it, just compare your income to that of those who live in 99% of other countries. Now compare your income to the average U.S. citizen. You're on a roll, so compare your income to residents of Alabama and the Shoals area. How about it? Aren't you doing pretty well?

Sadly not everyone can say that. Many are children who have no say in how they are being raised or what their parents do. Others have serious illnesses that prevent them from continuing to work. Think about that phrase "but for the grace of God..."

Please adopt at least one person this holiday season. Christmas may be just another day to many, but it doesn't have to be that way. If you haven't yet selected someone to help, here are a few ideas:

* Salvation Army Angel Tree (children & senior adults) at Regency Square. You may also call (256) 764-4432.

* Hospice patient stocking tree: Link

* CASA (children) (256) 765-0041 or email to andreaholt@lauderdalecasa.org.
