Today our group from SSJ did food distribution all day! That’s because we had 10 food baskets to give to families in the community.

The great thing about blessings is that they never go one way only, the moment you bless someone you grow spiritually, you connect with that other person and you follow God’s commandment.

The moment you connect there’s an opportunity for something beautiful to happen: empathy, a deep, real empathy that can only be found when God is in the middle of that connection.

We believe that happened today; our hearts were burning upon seeing God’s work in these families, breaking when learning about their struggles and filled with joy by seeing the smiles on the families’ faces when they ended every story with a “Thanks be to God” or “We know He is in control”.

Empathy is a beautiful way that God gave us to experience the unity He experiences with The Son. Through our unity in God’s love He can do amazing things!

God is good!
