Comments on: Remembering Those Who Are Easy To Forget http://notesfromthefrugaltrenches.com/2009/12/23/remembering-those-who-are-easy-to-forget/ The journey of a gal living the simple life, trying to take beautiful photos, find inspiring words, as well as heart warming stories & share a frugal note or two!

Ask google for “Mother Teresa’s millions’” This is why her beatification has not gone any further of course.

It is easy to help; there are food banks and soup kitchens and church support groups all over the US and in the UK also. As long as you are williing to lend a hand as and how you are needed. They desperately need help of all kinds and they are well organised. Sometimes it takes humility to take orders… But it is more effective to help an existingand experienced group than to try to set up on your own. They know where and how the real need is, and how to make a little money go a long way. Listen to them. Blessings from Ireland

Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

I too would like to do more, but not sure how.

Perhaps those of us who read your blog and think the same way could join together and do something to help in 2010?

Best wishes and thanks once again

I have been very selfish this semester, very absorbed with my own little problems. You are always so grateful and much more optimistic than I am! Your posts remind me that so many people have it a lot worse and that I have to work on being less self-centered. Something to focus on in 2010, perhaps…

Anyway… I hope you and your mother enjoy a lovely Christmas together!

Thanks for the link about Prince William, I wish more people in public/power positions would take time to raise awareness.

While it is important to recognize how blessed we are to be alive, healthy, with loved ones, have jobs, food in our bellies etc – it’s so important to think of those less fortunate.
Thank you for the reminded.

thankyou for the challenge…i am convicted of my need to do more. i hope 2010 will be the year of putting my money where my mouth is and giving up time and energy to help, rather than just thinking “i should do more…”

i love that carter quote…
