A gift of a blessing

WHAT difference would if make if you gave a gift to someone, just to bless them because you want to help?

Opportunities to do good to others seems limited in this unprecedented social distancing lockdown due to the coronavirus, but we see signs of creativity in giving to others all around.

Nationally, Captain Tom has captured our hearts and has inspired more than £30 million pounds of financial support to the NHS and has now gone on to top the charts with a Number One recording, all as he marched into his centennial birthday.

It’s been wonderful to see.

Likewise, many others are taking time to find ways to give to others through shopping for them and helping them use previously new technologies like social media apps and websites and video conferencing tools.

I recently received a wonderful email from a recruiter who had pulled together a full list of all kinds of free training resources to help sharpen up skills to help you standout in what will be a very competitive job market once we get past this pandemic.

That was so unexpected and such a blessing to me and I am sure to others that I’d like to share it with you here: www.talentsearch.careers/free-online-trainingcourses.

I am reminded of Jesus’ words in Luke 6:38, “If you give to others, you will be given a full amount in return. It will be packed down, shaken together, and spilling over into your lap. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated.” Wow, what a promise.

What kind of difference can it make for others if we seek to give to others? Captain Tom has shown us it works today, now it is up to us to take the next step.
