“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10
One of the amazing benefits of being around a church during Christmas time is hearing about and experiencing generous acts of service. A few weeks ago, a couple thousand Christmas gift boxes for families in need were delivered here from people in the community. Those boxes are being shipped around the world to families that can’t afford gifts. For thanksgiving, meals were dropped off to be delivered to local families in need. Imagine the excitement of receiving a Thanksgiving feast when you’re unsure of when and where your next meal is coming.
We have all been in tough situations, in which we need a helping hand. In the passage above it talks about the values of having a companion or helper. Think this week about someone that might need your support, time or help. Let us be thankful for those that have helped us and willing to lend a helping hand this Christmas.
