Special Assignment

(You know I was a school teacher for almost forty years.)

Think of those around us who could use a little attention and plan to call, visit, cook, do some needed yard work, etc. Make a contact with them and do an act of helpfulness for them. Guess who will be blessed – Both of you, but you will probably be blessed the most!

Be blessed on this Lord’s Day. Be a blessing too!
