Alone? Impossible!

JUDITH ANN HARDY

A woman—suddenly homeless, jobless, and separated from her family—in a roadside phone booth on Christmas Day. She needs employment and a place to stay.

Sad, you say? Yes. Yet each year millions of lonely people all over the world spend holidays in misery. A far cry from the festive feast with family and friends traditionally associated with December 25 and other special times. There must be something we can do to help these people. And there is.

We can do the obvious—include such individuals (if we know of them) in our own family fold. Not as "haves" sharing our private storehouse of happiness with a "have-not," but rather as members of God's family sharing together and with all mankind more of His limitless love. But our love can reach farther than that.
