    With so much joy and happiness that almost all of us share with loved ones today it's easy to forget people who don't have someone to share this day with. I just wanted to send out a special wish to those who aren't able to share today's joy with someone they love.

    Whether it's because of death, divorce or alienation I hope that you can find Joy in this beautiful day. Look for the beauty in the simple pleasures like the smile on a child's face, giving to others or nature that surrounds us all.

    I hope that you can see through the darkness of loneliness and find the light that will shine on you in the days to come and take peace in that. Please don't forget that there are people around you whether you know it or not that do care and that God will never leave your side.

    Have a very Merry Christmas my friend.

    Wow schlot. Well said and something a lot of us overlook.

    That said, those that ARE alone need to realize they have a family with us here at FHC. They are most certainly a part of this family. God Bless all of you.
