Time is a luxury we don’t have in our contemporary lives. Only yesterday I was catching up with other mums and the one thing we kept admitting was a feeling of being overly busy with the everyday things of life. The truth is, that even though time seems to be in short supply, and prioritise as we must, there are some things that we neglect to do. Caught up in the grinding busyness of being wives and homemakers can skew our perception of reality and what’s important. Visiting people who just need us to give of our time is difficult and often we feel as though we don’t gain much from the exercise and we could have better spent that time doing something else on our exhaustive ‘to do’ lists.
Almsgiving challenge: This week’s almsgiving focus is all about kindness. Visit a nursing home, elderly neighbour, homeless shelter or refugee family and be a comforting presence to them.
