A wish for Christmas

I'm privileged. I live in peace with a home, food, job and people that cares about me.

Many people lack one or more of these things. Does it have to be like that? No, we have the power to change that if we really want.
But what can you and I do? We can reach out to someone that is lonely, we can share a bit of things that we have plenty of, we can say no to the ones that are looking for conflicts. Maybe just a smile and a nice word can make a difference?

The things that we take for granted can be taken from us. What if you and I were poor, homeless, hungry, lonely? What would it mean if someone could see us and include us in their world?
