Community Care Chain

My wife and I tend to the Blessing Box at Friedberg Moravian Church on a rotation, restocking the items and straightening up the box daily when we are assigned to the schedule. This evening and last evening we found items had been left by others in the community that serve as a blessing to those who are food poor and in need. The kindness is greatly appreciated as the needs in our community are great. Personally, this was a blessing to us as we didn’t have to restock as many items as we normally must on a normal night. Thank you kind souls and may God bless you as we pay this forward and leave this card for another person to pick up.

The heat index was over 100 degrees and as I was drenched in sweat working at a baseball game. A kind gentleman brought me a refreshing ice cold drink which helped profusely.

“I was in the drive thru line and when I got to the window, someone had already paid for my meal for my kids and me. It surprised me and warmed my heart so I kept it going by paying for the car behind me and passing the care chain card along to them in hopes they bless someone else too.”

I’m an elementary school teacher and today an anonymous parent dropped coffee off for my team and me. “Perked up” my day and so I decided to pass the card along to a colleague who needed some help getting sub plans together.

Our dog had gotten loose and was missing for a day. Our family was brokenhearted and panicked. Thank you to a woman named Sarah who found out our lab, Roxie, and brought her home.

Sometimes it’s the little acts in life that bring joy and happiness. I have 4 kids and my arms are always full. Thank you for the gentleman at Food Lion in Welcome who helped pull a cart out for me and told me I was a good mom. It made my morning!

My daughter just had her tonsils removed and we also have a 3-month-old baby. My wife has been exhausted and our neighbor was sweet enough to bring us a dinner last night to ease our burden. We plan to pay it forward by preparing a meal for another family in our neighborhood.
