The preacher on Sunday encouraged us to think about those we knew personally who might be struggling. So I bought some chocolate and arranged to pop in to see someone who has had a rough time recently. Turned out to be the highlight of my day. I was clambered over by attentive gorgeous children, had a brew and a chat, and for that hour had purpose and company :-) Maybe it's not even that giving is better than receiving, maybe it's that we receive when we give.
Christmas day and what I'm most looking forward to is my time on the helpline. It's not usually busy so I may not get company, but even if there are no calls, by ensuring it's open, I will have purpose :-)
