Christmas can be difficult for those who find themselves alone, abused, unwanted and uncared for. There are lights everywhere, music and an aura of happiness and anticipation. That is on the surface. Underneath the surface, there are people who do not know where their next meal will be coming from, there are neglected elderly, and children who should be permitted to enjoy their childhood. The list can seem endless. If you are reading this and can afford it, please do something nice with whatever you can afford. Some people are very wealthy and give out tokens. It is nice to donate to institutions, but please feed the people as well.
If you are one suffering, reach out to someone. Try to be strong enough to say enough to abuse. Report it. Get some help for it. If you are hungry, go to a food bank, local church or relative and tell them your situation. Talk to a neighbour. Tell someone. We cannot change other people but we can change ourselves. Reach out. Accept help. Be with people. This is not easy for everyone, but each one of us is deserving of love. This is all part of loving.
