Shared Blessings!

Christmas Catch Up From Next Stage Housing…

What a blessing to be able to share the blessings that God has given us.

As we have shared, Manchester City Mission has been blessed with toys for children and bags of food. We are sure that those who have given will have been blessed, and, as these blessings have been passed on to families with children who are in need this Christmas, they in turn receive a blessing.

However, we also, as individuals who are distributing the goods are also blessed and take part in the joy of giving and receiving.

What a beautiful picture of the Gospel story- Jesus endured the cross ‘for the joy that was set before Him’ and we have received His joy as we have come to know Him as our Saviour.

Joy to the World, the Lord has come!
