May God's
richest blessings be upon each of you throughout your recovery
and as your hearts begin to heal and you start your lives over
again. Remember ... only God can give you the grace and
strength and wisdom to face the future.
It is our
sincere hope that the family you bond with over the Christmas
Season can be a great source of comfort, inspiration and bring a
small amount of joy to you.

Remember when
neighbors knew neighbors? Remember front porches? Remember hot
summer nights when families sat on the front stoop and talked
over the fence?
America as well as our entire
world needs to get back to helping and knowing our neighbors.
We hope that the Angel Tree will
bring a sense to each one of you that helps you remember your
neighbors. We may all live far from each other, but we
hope that this is a way that you as fellow neighbors can connect
and be a blessing to one another.

Luke 10:29-37
29But
he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour?
30And
Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31And
by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32And
likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on
him, and passed by on the other side.
33But
a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and
when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34And
went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine,
and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and
took care of him.
35And
on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave
them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and
whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay
thee.
36Which
now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that
fell among the thieves?
37And
he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.
