This season really reminds us how God’s blessings can come unexpectedly. My brother, battling cancer while running his plumbing business, always helps our friend Mandy’s family without charging them. Instead, he happily accepts these homemade cheese balls they make - they're like his favorite treat. Both Mandy’s dad and my brother are fighting cancer, and they've formed this sweet support system.
Recently, Mandy tried to give my brother something extra after a job. He insisted on no cash, just the usual cheese trade. But she handed him a check for $1,000 from her church, explaining they wanted to help after hearing about his kindness and his fight. When my brother told me about it later I could tell he was just overwhelmed by their generosity. It’s these acts of love, from people he’s never met, that truly show the depth of Christ’s love in action.
