The Gift That Lives On "WHAT IN THE WORLD can I give to ______ this Christmas?" Sound familiar? Sure, it's probably the most frequently asked question every Yuletide season. In our pocket of society where pampered affluence is rampant, we are often at a loss to know which gift to buy. For some people (especially those who "have everything") the standard type of gift won't cut it. Nothing in the shopping mall catches our fancy. I have a suggestion. It may not seem that expensive or sound very novel, but believe me, it works every time. It's one of those gifts that has great value but no price tag. It can't be lost, nor will it ever be forgotten. No problem with size either. It fits all shapes, any age, and every personality. This ideal gift I suggest you give during the season is yourself. That's right, give some of yourself away. Give an hour of your time to someone who needs you. Give a note of encouragement to someone who is really down. Give a hug of affirmation to someone in your family. Give a visit of mercy to someone who is laid aside. Give a meal you prepared to someone who is sick. Give a word of compassion to someone who is going through a difficult season. Give a deed of kindness to someone who is easily overlooked. Jesus taught: The King will say, "I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" MATTHEW 25:40 The most meaningful gifts we give this Christmas won't be wrapped in shiny paper with a perfectly tied bow—they'll be wrapped in tender expressions of Christ's mercy and love. Here at Houses for Healing, we are a non profit organization, which builds tiny, yet fully functional, houses for people to stay in where a necessity for short-term medical housing exists. Patients and family members can stay without charge in a place near the hospital where they will be assisted with food and transportation. Consider helping us today https://lnkd.in/eZNHuX8n

The 13th of November is World Kindness Day! Kindness is a universal human language. We find it everyday, in small, selfless acts of service for others that help make all our lives better. And at Medaille, we believe it has an incredible power to heal. Many of our service users come into our safe houses from conditions of unimaginable cruelty. Each service user has their own complex trauma, and many find it impossible to trust others. But through the tireless work and kind acts of our staff, we can start to see an change. Through kindness, survivors who had closed themselves off can start to open up again. Small acts like cooking for someone, providing for them, offering them a shoulder to cry on begin to make a difference. And kindness leads to more kindness; soon, our survivors are embracing their community, finding joy and self-expression through creative arts, yoga and more! It's all part of our holistic approach to recovery. If you're interested in getting involved in our kindness community, find out how at our website. There are so many ways to get involved! https://lnkd.in/gxCPv2ac
