Do Small Encouragements and Small Acts Of Kindness Matter?

They Can Make A Big Difference…

This is often the case when Cath (Next Stage Housing) is able to request help through Acts 435 for our clients. This was the case recently when a family, who are struggling in challenging living arrangements, were blessed with a hoover, a microwave and a toaster. These are things which we often take for granted but were really appreciated as they contributed to a sense of ‘home’ for the family.

Also, in recent weeks, we have been blessed by our clients who have come to say ‘thank you’ for the help that they have received. Although we do not look for this, it is still an encouragement.

We may feel we don’t have much to give but we can all seek to encourage others that we meet and to share the love of Jesus.
