The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah.—Prov. 19:17.

 

One way that you can learn what your brothers and sisters need is by drawing them out with tactful questions. (Prov. 20:5) Do they have enough food, medicine, and other supplies? Are they at risk of losing their job or even their home? Do they need assistance with applying for government aid? Jehovah invites all of us to encourage and help others. (Gal. 6:10) Even a small expression of our love can have a powerful effect on someone who is ill. A child could send a card or a drawing to encourage a brother. A young adult might be able to run an errand or shop for a sister. What about preparing a meal for someone who is ill? Some Witnesses have sent a thank-you note to the elders, who are often busier than ever during a disease outbreak. How good it is when we do our part to “keep encouraging one another and building one another up”!—1 Thess. 5:11. w22.12 22 ¶2;23 ¶5-6

I love this verse. I made a note on this scripture in the note feature. I listed everything I could think of to help and encourage the friends. Things like, Cards, gifts, chores, errands, visits, lunch dates, expressions of thanks...get the idea. I just thought of a few more, this will be an ongoing list. But that note is now in my tablet. I tagged it. "Helping the friends". Love the note feature.
