Hello Friends,

As the Holiday Season approaches, there are many things

to be thankful for. I myself, am thankful for my health, my

family, friends, co-workers, and every person that I come

in contact with daily. Sometimes we forget how truly fortu-

nate we are. I look forward to the Holidays so I can deco-

rate, cook, and share special times with family and friends.

There are so many people that aren't as fortunate to have

loved ones to share special times with. That is why it is so

important to keep that neighbor, family member, or friend

in mind, that may not have anyone to share the holidays

with. It is especially tough this time of year for so many

people. I know that everyone is busy with their own lives

and we all get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the

holiday season. We all have compassion in our hearts. So, I

would like to ask everyone, to please do something nice for

someone this year. It will make your heart full. Happy

Holidays to each of You and Your Families from All of Us

here at the Fulton County Community Center.

My First Christmas In Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees, around the world below with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting in the snow. The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear for I am spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs, that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare, with the Christmas choir up here, I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring for it is beyond description, to hear the Angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart but I am not so far away, we're really not apart. So be happy for me everyone, you know I hold you dear and be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift, from my Heavenly home above I send you each a memory, of my undying love. After all, LOVE is more precious, more precious than gold it says so in the stories, that our Saviour Jesus told. So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear, and remember I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ

When Christmas bells are swinging

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow,

We hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago,

And etched on vacant places

Are half-forgotten faces

Of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.

Christmas ~ Anon

Every time a hand reaches out

To help another....that is Christmas Every time someone puts anger aside

And strives for understanding That is Christmas

Every time people forget their differ-ences

And realize their love for each other That is Christmas

May this Christmas bring us Closer to the spirit of human under-

standing

Ellen Mock from the Honeywell Center came for The Round

Table in November to talk about the Honeywell Center and

how it came to be in Wabash. She was a great speaker and

so informative about the Honeywell Center. Everyone had a

nice time. Carol Ness won 2 tickets to the Honeywell Center

as the door prize that day.

There was a full house in the dining room on October 28th when we had our Halloween Party/Chili Dinner . Everyone

had a great time and enjoyed themselves
