You know how the littlest thing you do for a person means the world to them. Today, I went to our annual parking lot sale with one neighbor. On my way home saw another neighbor walking over, I asked if she wanted company and went back with her. (Don't worry, I didn't just leave the person I was with originally; she had to get home.) The second person I returned to the sale with was so happy she had someone to talk to, and didn't have to be there alone. I truly cherish moments like these and am glad I shared my time with her!

The annual SnowCap Community Charities dinner and auction is set for Saturday, Feb. 4 at the Holiday Inn-Portland Airport, 8439 N.E. Columbia Blvd. The silent bidding hall will open at 5:30 p.m. A buffet dinner and oral auction will follow. Among the oral auction items available for bid will be an airborne tour of either Mount St. Helens or Mount Hood.
The increased need for SnowCap services for low-income families and individuals has attracted a record number of oral auction packages, according to Kirsten Wageman, director of programs and development. “We have vacation getaways, fishing tripods, barbecues, artwork, handmade items and professional and personal services,” she said. Wageman added that the goal for this event is to raise $150,000.
“Times are increasingly hard for many unemployed and underemployed in east Multnomah County,” according to Judy Alley, SnowCap executive director. “Demand for SnowCap assistance has grown to more than 9000 requests per month, a 20 percent increase over a year ago,” she continued.
SnowCap Community Charities is a philanthropic organization created to serve the poor in much of east Multnomah County, including the large areas around Gresham, Fairview, Wood Village and Troutdale.

The Cross Room
A young man at the end of his rope groaned in distress as he prayed."Lord, I can't go on. My cross is too heavy to bear."
"My son, " the Lord replied with compassion, "if you can't bear its weight, come with me to the cross room. There you may exchange you cross for any other cross you choose."
Filled with relief, the young man sighed, "Thank you, Lord." Briskly entering the cross room, he mindlessly discarded his own cross and searched for one he'd rather carry. He saw many other crosses, some so large the tops weren't even visible. After winding in and out of the rows of crosses, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against the far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord,"he whispered.
And the Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you brought in."
"My son, " the Lord replied with compassion, "if you can't bear its weight, come with me to the cross room. There you may exchange you cross for any other cross you choose."
