Don’t Forget About the Lonely Folks This Holiday Season

Real quick.

Technically, this should be an all year theme, but, at least for the holidays, please…please…don’t forget about the lonely people.

There are plenty out there that have no family. They will be spending this holiday season alone. The family doesn’t have to be permanently gone. Someone may be on a business trip. Hey, Black Friday starts on Thursday now-a-days. Corporate doesn’t care.

Main point is, there will be higher rates of depression. Suicide jumps.

What can you do? Well, you can always keep them in your prayers. If you know people that will be on their own, perhaps invite them to your table.

And, if you’re reading this and feeling down and out of it, I want to personally let you know that I’m going to say a prayer for your mental health and strength.

People, we can’t forget about the reality of this…situation.

That’s all I wanted to say.

A 16 year old worked hard to afford his iPad. Next thing you know, it accidentally gets burned in a fired pit. Long story short, a stranger found out about it, and gave the teen a gift card to Best Buy to buy a new one.

This is some fascinating news.

Boffins in Canterbury say they have developed a cancer-detecting breath test machine that could save millions of lives. They claim it can detect the very earliest stages of a wide range of cancers, long before any symptoms appear.

Man, if this works that’s huge.

Okay, that’s all I got for ya.

I’ll be honest, for the past couple of days I have lost blogging fire. Not sure why. Maybe being stuffed with turkey made me lazy. But then, I never eat turkey on Thanksgiving so…yeah. Anyway, DALANEL is back online and ready to go. I mean, I still lost some blogging fire, but, I’m blogging through the down time. We all have down time, right?

Daily Good Stuff 231: Thanksgiving

You knew this themed post was coming. Shame on you if you didn’t. FOR SHAME. Haha I still love you. Before I start, I just want to say something important and serious. There are people that dread this holiday and Christmas. Mainly because they are alone. Be kind to a stranger today. Offer a smile. You don’t have to get up in somebody’s face like some freak. Just remember that this is one of the worst times of the year for some.

Okay, now, let’s get to the post.

Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day. Robert Caspar Lintner

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

A Nevada man and an Iranian are teaming up:

Now, the two are planning to reunite next month to ride their bikes across Iran in a symbolic gesture of peace.

Their project, Wheels of Peace, will begin with each of them visiting schools in his respective country and sharing his experiences of finding friendship with someone who might otherwise be considered an enemy.

The children will be asked to write letters to students in the other country.

Very cool.
