How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides defend you from seasons such as these

Don't forget to bring "soap for hope" on Wednesday of next week.  Think of the young people (who are much like you) who find themselves trying to survive on the street or "couch-surfing" (depending on the "kindness of strangers"), especially on the Thanksgiving weekend when we are all enjoying the bounty of groaning tables, and the warmth and support of friends and family.

Notice the sign at the Gilbert entrance of the school?  "Be grateful."  It's good advice.  People who appreciate their own good fortune are happier and live longer!  We all have lots to be grateful for -- our health, the chance to attend a good school, the safety and security we enjoy in Richmond and in Canada, the beauty of the natural world.  Appreciate what you have!
