The refugee crisis has touched all our lives.

I have just read this post written by a holocaust survivor and I thought how true it is. This is a small part of the post. I am lucky that most of my blog readers and friends have stretched out their hands with help, money or donating goods and we have touched lives.
It does not stop whilst there are still so many in need.

"This crisis is not the Holocaust, but the two do share disturbing themes, and I urge you to not give in to the fatigue that can drive us to shut our windows and close the curtains. We must also combat hopelessness. The problems in Syria seem insurmountable, but we can still have a powerful impact on those who suffer.

Remember this: It is an honour in life to be able to have a positive effect on even one other person. And when the suffering of another is great, small acts of generosity and courage are powerful beyond expectation.

Take this opportunity to do a great thing that will live in someone’s memory for a lifetime and be told to the generations that come after. Offer something to relieve the suffering of the person walking past your house. Provide a word of support when others taunt. Reach out your window and softly touch the forlorn face of someone who will remember your kindness forever"

Malc says is it the Sunday morning sermon?
Val says  why not, it is Sunday?
