It’s one of the hottest days so far this summer, so what would you like? That’s what we thought… a nice cold bottle of water. Off to the cash & carry to buy 3 roll along cool boxes (£40 each), 210 bottles of water (£29) and lots of ice from Tesco (99p for 2Kg).
Eleven nervous, inexperienced but willing and adventurous people and a box full of contact cards set off for the riverside in Bedford.
20 to 30 minutes later there are eleven excited people buzzing about having just touched over 200 lives with the love of God through a simple act of kindness.
It never ceases to amaze me how these simple acts have a profound impact on both the giver and recipient. One of our “givers” gave water to two couples, who sat next to each other on a bench and overheard the second couple saying, “God loves us,” as they read the card. The other couple turned around and said, “He loves us too!” “Way to go God”, I thought.
