Skill sharing...

Lent has begun, and one of the 40 Acts suggestions for "doing Lent generously" is to share your skills with others in some way. You may not have much money to be generous with, but you can always be generous with your time and your skills. If you're good at maths, you could help a friend's child with their homework; if you're a dab hand with a paint brush, you could transform that dingy old room at your church or community centre; if you have some musical skills, you could volunteer to play piano for the Sunday School; if you cope okay with DIY, you could help an elderly person by doing some repairs or odd jobs around the house for them.... And the possibilities go on and on.

I've had several different opportunities to do some "skill sharing" this week: I was able to help a Spanish-speaking child with their English homework, I helped a fellow missionary by making them a template for a prayer letter, I taught a young adult how to make a healthy pot of soup.... and I'm proof-reading a friend's writing project to check for spelling or grammar mistakes. What do you enjoy doing? And what skills could you share in order to bless someone else and "do Lent generously" ?
