A week ago I was feeling a bit under the weather, and when I mentioned it, many people offered kind words. I know that there are churches and various other organizations that reach out to homebound folks or people with different illnesses, but I was thinking this would be a marvelous special outreach for all of us. Feeling sick is never fun, but when people help out, it becomes so much easier to deal with. Prayers are nice and cards or emails. Visits or calls should be brief so as to not be taxing for the sick person - the idea is to cheer them up, not wear them out. Also sometimes a nice care package (things like fruit juice or a hot soup or a casserole) can be so very helpful!
