So it's Christmas Eve and John volunteered to work tonight so others could spend time with their families, and I have been busy cooking! Tomorrow (Christmas Day) we will be visiting a man named Thomas. Thomas lives downtown by himself and has no family. He is ill with a lung condition and is home bound. He receives hospice care, but never gets visitors. So, we have decided to make him Christmas dinner and spend some time with him. Our friend Jessica is coming along too. We are giving him a blanket since he doesn't have adequate heat in his apartment. It is South Carolina, but winter nights can get really cold.
It is hard not being able to spend the holiday with our own friends and family, but knowing that we will be making Thomas' day makes it well worth it. We have been blessed and want to spread that blessing to Thomas.
Happy Holidays!
John and Cathleen
