Verse of the Week:
“Therefore, once you have your minds ready for action and you are thinking clearly, place your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.” — 1 Peter 1:13
News:
I just read the news for an hour and I realized how depressing the news is to me. I miss the good old days of the news showing up in my life with the morning paper and on the evening news.
The most important news today, to me, is suicide. I knew several young people and adults who have taken their own lives in the last year. Suicides and serious mental health issues are skyrocketing. Please keep lines of communication open. If you need help, please please seek it.
This article from BBC was eye opening: Police uncover teenage girl ‘suicide’ Instagram group https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56617838
If it’s you who’s having the rough time, the Suicide Prevention Hotline is: 1.800.273.8255 . It’s been an incredibly difficult year- please reach out before you harm yourself. ❣️ Many people would miss you ❣️
It's Tuesday ~ Can We Talk Tech?
Not all parents are able to provide the home they’d love to for their babies, and need to give them up but don’t know where to start. A cool tech-enabled solution is baby boxes- specifically Safe Haven Baby Boxes.
When a parent wants to surrender their baby, they can take them to a baby box and safely leave the child there. The box notifies 911 and within a few minutes, the baby is off to the hospital to be checked out and the parents have a safe way to ensure their baby is cared for when they can’t. With economic pain growing, this may be a choice more feel they should make. If you’d like to find out how to get one of these boxes in your town, please visit www.SHBB.org
This impressive organization also offers the National Safe Haven Crisis line at 1-866-99BABY1
Note from SHBB.org: The Safe Haven Laws have been updated to include Safe Haven Baby Boxes (safety devices) in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, Florida, and Arizona.
It feels like today we talked about tough times but that they can have happy endings- many people are eager to help. 💝 Help is waiting ❣️
