Restoring faith by giving back.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

I have often felt that my faith has been restored after I have given back. It’s that personal connection to another human being. It’s knowing you had a direct impact on someone else’s life for the better. It could be with my time, money, or simply a card sent in the mail. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference.

As I looked up the phrase “giving back” there were many synonyms listed. Some were repaying, reimbursing, refunding, compensating, making good, and restoration to name a few. Restoration is what stuck out to me. Restoration, to me, means anything from cleaning something up to taking it apart and putting something new in its place.

As I think about this word “restoration” it reminds me that I need to take the effort to restore someone’s faith in humanity by being kind, helping, or whatever is appropriate. Sometimes restoration is a bit messy but it is always worth it.

So how will you restore someone today?

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,
