Grocery chain, Schnuck’s, observed the restaurants in their communities struggling for survival. As the holidays approached, Schnuck’s also wanted to do something nice for their employees.
Schnuck’s creatively purchased $200,000 worth of gift cards from local restaurants and then gave the gift cards to their employees. Their creative and compassionate response resulted in a win/win solution.
In Mark 8, Jesus revealed that He was the ultimate in creative compassion. As hungry crowds lingered, Jesus said, “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat.” He went on to use 7 loaves of bread and a few fish to feed thousands.
If God is stirring your heart to care for others, pray for creative ways to share your compassion.
