I rang my aunt today and she made me feel like I'd just made her day.She's pretty much house bound nowadays, but so very interested in what the family's getting up to.She's upbeat and so appreciative of every little thing anyone does for her.It only takes a few minutes to let someone know you're thinking of them and it could make a world of difference to their day.Our local town has an initiative every year called "Expression". All the churches get together and send volunteers to do the simple things which really make a difference.They cut grass, paint walls,visit old peoples' homes and so on and show God's love in practical ways. As well as giving of their time freely the volunteers are deeply moved by how little it takes to make some one's day.Many are changed as a result of the week's outreach and have grown deeper in their faith.They are really blessed by how much God has blessed them through the different experiences.
"It is in giving that we receive".
