Lend a Helping Hand


If not for Facebook, I wouldn't know of the joys and sorrows acquaintances are experiencing. Many are facing unusual stress and anxiety in their lives. There is the woman whose daughter is in a special needs care facility. She has been beside herself not getting to have regular visits, but now she finds one of the children is ill and has tested positive. She's frightened. There is the man in his 80s, with a double amputation of his legs, whose wife has been admitted to the hospital with the virus. The emotionally-charged election of the past few days has added an unbelievable amount of extra anxiety to these and other people's lives. Let's pay attention and offer a helping hand to our friends who have particular needs -- no matter what they may be.  Record numbers of our fellow humans are experiencing depression and other emotional/mental problems during these times. Even if your friends and neighbors seem to be doing fine, you never know when you can make someone's day, so never be afraid to reach out -- no matter what their political affiliation!


"The miracle of grace is no miracle to Love. Jesus demonstrated the inability of corporeality, as well as the infinite ability of Spirit, thus helping erring human sense to flee from its own convictions and seek safety in divine Science." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 494:15
