Taking a few minutes to show kindness. And a way to help and encourage each other on a Thursday through our Hands and Heart ministry with the weekly WGTS 91.9 Drive-Thru Difference. Whether you pay for someone behind you at the drive-thru or find another way to brighten someone’s day, you can be a part of this effort to make our communities better. This story from Brenda is a great example of how small acts of kindness can make a real difference and give you a blessing so you can bless others too.
