Blessing bags

A few weeks ago we headed to London for the day. The night before leaving we had a family project to do. 

It all started with a zip lock bag........

And a whole lot of items. 

We put some little essentials together and created blessing bags for the homeless people of London. We knew we'd see one or two homeless people while there as the bright lights attract so many people but we weren't prepared for the amount of homeless people we actually saw. 

Our blessing bags blessed a few of the many. We know for next time to make a few more. 

It was a little project we could do together that we could see the instant results of. It put love into action and helped us see how fortunate we are to have the home comforts we enjoy each day. 

Sometimes we can overlook the small things we can all do in life to bless someone less fortunate than ourselves. We can all make a difference to someone else's day. We just have to make the decision to try.
