Thought For The Day – Wednesday 13^th December 2023

The word “charity” means generosity or helpfulness to others. 

Charity can be shown in given time or money, or both.

The Latin word for charity is a translation of Greek  word “agape”.

Agape is the selfless love that puts others first and seeks nothing in return.  It is the highest and deepest love of all.

Christmas is not easy for many people, whether they are going through physical, mental, emotional or financial challenges. 

Some people may have lost someone close to them and feel their loss particularly at Christmas.

Christmas can be a lonely time and a time which, for some, can add to stress. The pressure to have a perfect Christmas, whatever that means, does not help.

In fact, care and love is the best Christmas present of all. 

It is invaluable and priceless.

Thank you very much to all who donated toys for those in need.  TBSHS collected 74 toys. Absolutely. wonderful. Thank you very much to Mrs. MacEachern for leading this project.

Thank you for the donations you have to the local night shelter and food bank last week, and to Saint Michael’s Church this week.
