GOOD MORNING - What's on your mind WEDNESDAY

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Up a little earlier today and happy to say the Christmas ornament issue has arrived! I love the stained glass and gingerbread patterns and the animals. I do miss the recipes they used to have in the issue, though. This year we decided not to exchange Christmas gifts and instead are going to make donations to the food bank here and the homeless shelter. We have respectfully asked family members that we do not wish to receive gifts, but if they want to donate to these organizations with the monies they would have spent, then it's up to them. I think this is something we will do from here on out. I had no idea until doing further research that 1 in 8 families in the United States are on SNAP benefits. Homelessness is up 18% since 2024 and estimates are around 770,000, but it's probably more. 1/10th of our city's population is homeless with about half of them unsheltered. Are we living in a third world country with these statistics? We were a little irritated with Bryan's sister when we made our request. All she could say was that we were crazy and that homeless, hungry people brought it on themselves and most of them were mentally ill. It is not up to us to judge why they are in the situation. Anyway, that's what's on my mind this morning. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

" I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. if you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."
John 15:5-8 NIV
