One of the greatest ways to show gratitude for our blessings is to share them. When we take time to help someone else—whether through kind words, a listening ear, or practical support—we not only lift them up, but we also find our own hearts lifted.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
Why Helping Others Matters
It spreads hope: A simple act of kindness can turn someone’s entire day around. It strengthens community: We were never meant to walk through life alone. It grows our character: Serving others helps us step outside of ourselves and see the bigger picture.
A Simple Example
A young man once said, “I was drowning in my own problems until I started volunteering at a food pantry. The moment I began helping others, I realized how much I actually had to be thankful for.” By serving others, he not only met their needs but also found healing for his own heart.
Practical Ways to Help Today
Call someone who may be lonely. Offer to pray with a friend going through a hard time. Do one small act of kindness anonymously.
Prayer
“Lord, open my eyes to the needs around me. Use me as Your hands and feet to encourage, bless, and help others today. Remind me that when I give, I receive joy in return. Amen.”
✅ Takeaway: When we help others, we multiply hope. Start with one small act today—you never know the ripple effect it may have.
