Have you ever invited a lonely person to a family get-together to make them feel like they are cared for?

We have done this several times at festivals like Diwali with an old widow neighbour living alone in my parents' building. Our family is indebted to her in a way because several years ago her husband gladly exchanged his flat with my uncle's so that the two brothers can be neighbours. She never comes empty-handed, always brings something delicious to share with us, or some decorative piece for the home.

    We have Randy D over every Groundhog Day. He always brings his spelling lessons. Good times.

    Thanksgiving is a big one in my book. If I know anyone who will be alone that day and doesn't want to be alone, I invite them over.

    "The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this:to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation..." (James 1:27) important to keep in mind this counsel. Hard to understand someone in that situation until you find yourself there too.
