I met a teenager today who matter of factly told me that she didn’t have Christmas last year and probably won’t this year either, because of family problems — issues beyond her control. As we talked a little more, I heard both sadness and anger creep into her voice, but she did a good job controlling it. That made me sad. Before I left, I told her that I was going to pray for her family, and for God to bring her a Christmas.

From Liz Seymour:
Tim, Food Not Bombs volunteer extraordinaire, has been fielding phone calls all morning from generous folks who have responded to a notice in today’s News & Record — offers of food, volunteers and money. We’ll be at the HIVE starting at 9:00 tomorrow morning to begin cooking for our 6:00 Thanksgiving dinner. If you’re looking for a place to spend part or all of your Thanksgiving day, or if you know of someone who will be alone tomorrow and would like to have a place to be, we’ll be open and ready for company! The HIVE is at 1214 Grove Street, the corner of Grove and McCormick in the Glenwood neighborhood. We anticipate having plenty of food and lots of good cheer.
