“You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work, we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:34-35 (NIV)
Early this month some of our volunteers from “Love Thy Neighbor Food Pantry” helped prepare and serve a meal at “Streets of Hope”, a local men’s shelter. It was a blessing for everyone.
These days, there are numerous ways to give at Christmas and all year long! See how many you can name.
I received several people’s kindness over the weekend when my daughter and I learned our car wouldn’t start. We needed a hot shot and a new battery.
Whether a smile; a kind word of encouragement; a prayer, or just holding the door for someone, there are endless ways for us to show the love of our Lord in giving to others.
