– nine years today]] It\u2019s been a great year, and I thank YOU for letting <\/em>Reach UP come into your home.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This issue, Doug Stringer of Somebody Cares America talks to women, especially single mothers, about growing up without a father\u2019s love and affection. It\u2019s a subject strong in his heart \u2013 so much so that he\u2019s written two books on it:<\/em> The Fatherless Generation and <\/em>Who\u2019s Your Daddy Now?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s a timely topic anytime of the year, but I think especially during the Christmas season. You see, tradition tells us that Joseph must have died while Jesus was still a child \u2013 when exactly, we don\u2019t know. But at some point Mary was a single mom. And while Jesus may not have been running the streets, He was a unique child, and I can imagine she didn\u2019t always know what to do next….<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You\u2019ll know what to do for your holiday make up after the makeup tips from Nadine and Hilthia. And Wendy brings us a recipe to try sometime during December. The smell of freshly baked cookies just makes a home seem cozier.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Veronica\u2019s resume-building article is right on time with new year\u2019s goals, whether you\u2019re going for your first job or looking for a different one. Keep her advice on file.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Grateful that Jesus came,<\/em><\/p>\n
