Galatians 6:2 NCV “By helping each other with your troubles, you truly obey the law of Christ.”
The door is wide open here! The world needs our help as it’s in trouble, but that’s a large undertaking so take your world and make it smaller. It only takes for us to walk with our eyes open to see where we can be of help.
The signs are everywhere! We see the dramatic end of a marathon where the leader of the pack gives up his glory to hold up a teammate as they cross the finish line together or the life changing miracle of a stranger donating a body part so another may continue to live.
But what about the single parent next door who could use a small break or a nap. The elderly person who appears a bit lost or confused. The straggly person on the corner holding a sign for help. Maybe it’s just an ear and a hug.
An encouraging word or a smile can change someone’s day! Your co-worker or friend has a deadline to meet, can you print papers, staple, proof read? Your minister who always looks like he’s got it together, guess what they could use your prayer, support and a surprise cup of coffee from time to time.
There are organizations such as children and women’s abuse shelters that are alway in need of clothing, essentials and toys! Start a collection drive as most of the time these women and children leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Do a clothing drive for local foster children, the food banks are always in need of food and the blood banks in need of blood!
Prayer, any and all of us need prayer, you might not know specifics, that’s ok God does, just lift whomever pops into your mind thanking God he knows there needs and will supply. Prayer for our country and government.
When we carry another’s burdens or at the very least share the load we are humbly coming alongside them with love asking if you can walk a mile in their shoes.
Thank you for joining me, may you be blessed today and be a blessing! 🥰
