reaching out to others ...

sharing love with others during times of need (illness, grief, etc.) can be a wonderful way to share of yourself ... please tell us ways that you have shown you cared ... do you help organize food/drive carpool/babysit a pet? take a "gift" basket to a family member staying at the hospital day after day? or tell us about the organizations you or your family supports ... or the special acts of caring in the community that you or your family or church have created ... do you take your old magazines to the emergency room waiting room? do you simply say a quiet pray when you hear or see an ambulance? do you send Girl Scout cookies to our military troops? how have you (or your children or your neighborhood, etc. ) given of yourselves to spread a little love in this very big world? we would love to learn from your kindness, your thoughtfulness, your acts of caring ... so that each and every one of us can ponder ways that WE CAN make a difference ... because love really does lift!

One of the most meaningful acts of love our family ever received was given by an anonymous person ... once, when we had a very seriously ill family member in another state, I found a single rose in a little vase on our doorstep with this note: "God's love completely surrounds you and yours" ... we never knew who left that note, but it was like receiving a kiss from God ...

I am so excited about your new book. As with any "cookbook", the best recipes are always the tried and true. Sometimes we just need a little help in choosing and using the right ingredients. It will be inspiring to read and enjoy these tried and true ideas and let them spark new ideas of our own to be shared with others.
