The Joy of Giving

 

One of the ministries at our congregation of the Church of Christ is the Clothing Giveaway. It happens on the 2nd Saturday of the month at our church annex. We give our guests the opportunity to get free clothing. At our August giveaway, one of our new guests came in with her cart. She had two bunches of flowers in her cart, and I commented on the beauty of  their colors. We agreed about the beautiful flowers, and I returned to sorting clothing. To my surprise, she said, "These are for you." She handed me a bunch of flowers. She said she'd gotten them at one of her stops on the way to our annex. I was touched. Our team gets joy from helping others. I came to give, yet I also received.

Always, Sylvia
