I sat cross legged on the floor of our church's nursery, playing peek-a-boo with a baby. She giggled constantly, absolutely adoring my attention. After she got bored with peek-a-boo, I took her on my lap, reading a child's book to her. I spent the next hour making her laugh, smile, giggle, and stare in astonishment at new toys. When her mother got back, she surprised me by being truly thankful for me babysitting her child. She told me how thankful she was that she was able to take a break and learn about God's word. I didn't think I had done that much, I just offered my time, lap, and love, yet throughout it I was able to bless some one else.
Sometimes, we can bless people by doing a simple thing such as offering our time. We can get fooled into thinking that people want more than that, but often all it takes is a little time and a lot of love to bless someone. 1 John 3:18 says, "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." God blessed us with time, can't you bless someone else with your time?
