Dear Friends in Christ -
Today is the day we remember all those who are suffering from AIDS - all those who have died, all those who are ill, and all those who have lost a loved one to this dreaded disease.
Remembering is about more than just feeling sad or even saying a prayer (as powerful as that is!). The word remember means, literally, to bring together again. And the only way that we can rightly re-member in the face of the global AIDS crisis is to DO something to help defeat this disease.
Today, if you can, do something to help . . .
+ Wear a red ribbon
+ Go to www.worldaidscampaign.org and get educated about what's being done to defeat the disease
+ Write to our leaders (President, congressional representatives) and remind them that the theme of this year's 20th-anniversary-of-World-AIDS-Day Campaign is "Leadership". Ask them to tell you what they're doing to help fight this disease around the world.
+ Donate to World Vision or another organization that is helping kids who have been orphaned by AIDS.
May God bless you richly for caring for those who are hungry, sick, widowed and orphaned by this disease.
Faithfully,
Janet+
