Blue Christmas

Chirp, chirp. These birds on a wire at the corner of East Lee Street and South Elm have their eye on the pulse of South Greensboro, a part of the city that does not always sparkle. From their vantage point, they see people in need at Urban Ministries, The Salvation Army, Weaver House,  homeless camps, Grace Church and beyond. Actually, great things are happening to make our city aware of issues related to homelessness and to empower the homeless to have better lives. Partners Ending Homelessness is one such initiative. It isn't too late to help someone others in need... financially or emotionally. Every little effort makes a difference. From donating cans of food to toiletries to making financial contributions to donating unneeded clothing to volunteering time, you have many options for helping at all price points. And, if you yourself are in need, lonely, or worried about celebrating a holiday alone, go volunteer or go eat at a soup kitchen. You won't be turned away. Like the birds on this wire, life is better with fellowship.

Skywatch Friday where the blogging community comes together to share a skyview from our respective cities. The meme is the wire where we all come to park our fingers for a few minutes each Friday-- alone but together.

In the town my husband grew up in Malaysia, they have swallows like this. People have to use umbrellas at night.
