After church this morning my husband and I drove to Smithfield for a little lunch and Christmas shopping. We had the best time; looking at all the decorations and Christmas trees. Everything is so beautiful this time of year. We ended up at Walmart shopping for our grandchildren. It’s hard to buy for them sometimes because they have some much already. I was stressing because I don’t know what they are even into. We have a teenage girl, grandson that is 9 and into Fortnite (insert eye roll) and a precious 3 year grand daughter that wants in her words “any and everything”, lol. She is a hoot!
Well, Terry and I decided on a gift to get “lil mama”; that’s what we call our youngest grand daughter because she is bossy. Terry put extra of that same gift in the cart along with a few more things. I’m thinking the whole time this isn’t fair. Lil mama is going to have more gifts than the others. I said something to Terry about it. He calmly said they aren’t for her. There is another little girl we mutually know that may not have a Christmas this year. Let me tell you, God checked me right there in the toy department.
There are people all around us that are struggling and having a hard time; would never ask for help. It is our job to seek, serve and love on these folks. By no means are Terry and I wealthy, but what we do have we will share. You don’t have to have a bunch of money to show God’s love. We are to be His hands and feet. To serve the needy, whatever that may be.
Anyway, I already had a wonderful day and this just topped it off. To help, to meet a need, out of love for others because He loves us first. Love on your people and others. Kindness and a friendly smile doesn’t cost you a thing, but will mean the world to the other person.
That’s all I have for today friends. I hope you have a FaBulouS week. If you see a need please meet it. This old world needs it.
Blessings,
Dawn
