There are a lot of people hurting right now for many different reasons.  Some are out of work and are having a really hard time.  They look and look for a job, but there are few jobs to be found.  Some people are trying to get their lives straightened out by going to drug rehab or some type of rehab. Others might have a serious illness or a family member with a serious illness, or they have lost someone close to them.  Whatever the reason, let’s keep our eyes, ears, and hearts open to those hurting around us and give them encouragement and help when we can.
