The Generosity Is Real!

Following on from yesterday's post I felt the need to salute the generous heroes (locally & abroad) who quietly give to make it possible for The Gathering, My Father's House, the Night Shelter and countless others to be able to reach out to the most vulnerable and provide them with food parcels, soup kitchens, sandwiches, food vouchers etc.

The generosity is real, as is the desire by many to help in whatever way they can to ensure that the most vulnerable are cared for, particularly in provision of the most basic human need of all.

Without the support of such generous friends and local businesses (many of which are struggling themselves) we would all be struggling to serve the neediest and that would be even more heartbreaking than things already are.

Thank You!

I love that this post coincides with The Gathering's Thankful Thursdays, our drive to encourage all Christians to put their prayer lists and requests aside and just thank God for all he's done, all he's doing and all He's going to do.

After all, as the scripture below tells us, thankfulness is part of God's will for us.

Rejoice always, pray continually, 

give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is God's will for you
in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
