Reach Out and Touch Someone

Hey blog fans Mer asked if I'd write today, as she is in Salt Lake City for the Ms. Wheelchair UT Competition. So exciting for her!

I have not joined in on the blog lately, because I was at a physical distance from Mer during much of this time, since she now lived in Utah and I was still in Washington state. I called as often as possible, sent as many care packages as I could afford and supported her with money if she had a need.

I know she was very lonely at times and some what depressed. I think the thing I'd like to say here isn't really a part of the story in any way, but so important to those who are in need. Be it physical, financial, emotional or spiritual.

We all need to reach out to one another in any way we can, ESPECIALLY TO FAMILY!
Giving time is one of the most important things we can do for people who are down on their luck. A phone call or a visit means all the world to them. If you can't do that, then send some homemade cookies, a personal note, some warm cozy socks, a movie or their favorite snack. Believe me just the little things, as you read with Mer's friend, Clarence, can brighten someones day.

Reaching out to others is just as good for each of us as it is for the one you are reaching out to.

I hope this suffices for today, may each of you be blessed!

Surely it is you who love the people; all the holy ones are in your hand. At your feet they all bow down and from you receive instruction.
Deuteronomy 33:3

Love You Mer
