Here we are…truly in the Christmas Season! With the New Year upon us, let’s think of ways that we can allow Christ’s light to shine through us as a beacon for those who are trying to find their way through the darkness that falls on some during the holidays. Little things like bringing the trash bin to the curb for those neighbors that need a little extra help. Offering to pick up groceries for those that shouldn’t be out driving in the weather. Bringing a dinner plate that may have been an abundance to someone that is single. Grabbing someone’s mail and bringing it to their door so that they don’t have to go out in the cold. Calling a relative or acquaintance that may be lonely and love to chat. It’s these little things that make such a big impact on those at a time when the lonely need that little pick me up.
Here’s a reminder of the little things we can all do to make a difference in someone’s life each day:
· Make Someone Smile—Monday
· Treat Someone with a Compliment—Tuesday
· Worship with Vigor—Wednesday
· Thank the Lord—Thursday
· Forgive Others—Friday
· Surprise a Loved One—Saturday
· Sing at Mass—Sunday (If you are a Saturday Mass family, swap Saturday and Sunday;)
