As the holidays approach (yes, in my planning, they are quickly approaching), I have noticed how busy our schedule is and how all the time slots for programming are quickly filling up. I am already thinking about when our Christmas dinner will be. It is during this time, I am reminded that some folks are not busy as all, rather they are home alone, and the loneliness is especially prevalent during the holidays. Let us not be so busy that we forget those who need us most during this season which is filled with activities, obligations, excitement and happiness. Not everyone walks in our shoes.
