Last Sunday the local Salvation Army Corps held its carol service. The arrival of heavy snow led to the curtailment of the event. Earlier, snow had prevented some from reaching the venue. The fear was that as some attending lived some miles away they would be trapped far from home.
In the event homes were thrown open for people who were at risk of being marooned. It was all arranged calmly and quickly and credit to the officers for their handling of the situation.
Unfortunately the snowy conditions led to the postponement of the Corps' Knit & Natter group's Christmas lunch a few days later.
Last Sunday showed how small acts of kindness may be very important for the well-being of the recipient. Loving our neighbour does not require extravagant measures, indeed in terms of direct support it is the little, everyday actions which mean so much.
