A lovely story came on an early CBC radio program this morning telling how some of the students at Okanagan Regional College are helping the homeless get in touch with their families. It started when a homeless man asked for a Christmas card to send home to his family to wish them a Merry Christmas. His wish was granted and since then a regular program invites more of the students to participate in creating these kinds of cards at home. Beautiful artwork together with Christmas greetings and messages of hope and love are mailed to the last known address of family and cheered the hearts of all parties concerned. If the addressee has moved they assist the person through phone calls and other ways to make the contact.
This also expresses the beauty and kindnesses of these students who are also very busy during the Christmas season with exams and other college activities. May this gift of your time and and hope bring many blessings to you as well this Christmas season and in all their future activities. A Merry Christmas to each one of you all throughout the New Year 2010 and all future years.
