Passing it on

A big part of the frame ministry is to help out and encourage others that God puts in our paths. This could happen in various types of ways. You may know a person or family in need of something and you're able to help meet that need. You may know someone who is going through a hard time or even someone who is doing well but could benefit from a little note of encouragement. It doesn't take much to brighten someone's day. Try going about your day carrying a smile on your face, even just a smile brightens people's days. We've been blessed to be able to help others and also to have others help us. Recently a good friend of ours that lives up the road gave our daughters a big bag of clothes that her older daughter had outgrown. She has done this several times for our family and our girls are always excited to see what's in the bag or bags. Our family is very appreciative for their thoughtfulness. It's fun to see kids wearing clothes that our kids used to wear also. Of course we could sell these items or just keep them in storage but what a blessing it is to pass them on and see the enjoyment they bring to others. So I encourage you to look for ways this week to be a blessing to those that God puts in your path. With a smile, a note, a text, cleaning out your closets and passing them on, etc... We're so blessed to have what we have in this country and we need to be careful not to take that for granted.

1 John 3:17

But whoever had this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
