Tis the season of giving. Many of us strain our backs and pocketbooks to fill the WANTS and needs of family, friends and neighbors. However some, have looked outside their "circle of friends and family" and filled the NEEDS of others. WHY??? because they care, and because they feel it is what God calls us to do. It was not a "have to do it" or "a do-it-to-feel-good" kind of act. It was a more heart tugging, God placed this overwhelming desire to bless someone, with small acts of kindness and rather minimal efforts. It is one of my strange obsessions, hearing how people "think" about these acts, "find" a need and fill it.
One friend could have easily bailed on the fulfilling since she was experiencing a loss that was unexpected and "it would have been understandable" if she just did not do something this year. But, no that motivated her more, to bless someone through her pain, because God was filling her need with His love, she wanted to share love with someone else.
The other friend, identified a need that arose from a health crisis, something her family had experienced and she sprung into action. Selflessly giving to others with no expectation or obligation, just to share love and support and let them know they were not forgotten and that they were loved.
This is the Spirit of Christmas in my heart... and perfect execution of scripture Be ye not hears only but also doers of the Word. If someone is hungry feed them, If someone needs clothes, clothe them. If someone needs love and encouragement, love and encourage them.
Selfless Anticipator, Intercessor, Need-fullfiller, Team-mate
I feel blessed knowing these "Saints, who loved and encouraged" and am very appreciative of being able to share in the experience by hearing their plans and stories of the delivery. I am very proud to call you Friends, for you truly showed your Love this season.
Frequently Relieving, Interceding, Encouraging, Need-fullfilling, Dedicated person!
All the glory goes to God, for that is where all good comes from and he lead these two to step out in love.
Merry Christmas!!!
