We have a Hope tree in the school community library. I say we, but it is the FBLA (Future Business Leaders Association) - students and a sponsor heading up the effort. Everyone in the school has the opportunity to contribute. It has been done other years by other groups, but it has been done for as long as I know.
It is a project that provides gifts for kids when their families are meeting some hard times. When there just is not enough to go around and Christmas doesn't fit the budget.
This year there is a great deal more need. The ornaments with the needs listed covered the tree. Couldn't see the green of the tree. Women of different churches have said they know the need has hit the churches as well. More families have said if there was extra, could they be considered.
I read not long ago that we have the opportunity to meet the divine everyday when we meet need. Not just at Christmas or Channakuh, but everyday. I am not preaching. I would not presume.
I am saying need is there. We need to look and listen and do and meet.
Who knows what can happen?
