Have you ever gone through a difficult season? There are so many times in life where we feel like we are in survival mode. It may be after the birth of a new baby, after a move, after the loss of a loved one, or after everyone in your family has been sick for what feels like weeks. In these times, other people’s help becomes extremely precious.
Our family has personally been blessed by many grand gestures such as someone purchasing a week’s worth of groceries, or giving us a free week away in their mountain house, or giving us a gift card for a date night out. These were wonderful gifts and I have often wanted to be able to do the same for another friend. However, sometimes our budget hasn’t always allowed for us to do those things. In the long run, though, consistency and support are more important than grand gestures. Your ongoing friendship is a gift regardless, and along with that, here are 10 frugal ways to bless a friend.
10 Frugal Ways to Bless a Friend
Offer to keep her kids for a morning
If your friend has children, providing free childcare will be a huge blessing. Maybe she needs to run some errands or go to an appointment, or maybe she would just enjoy some quiet time at her house.
Offer to clean a room of her house
I can’t think of anyone I know who would turn down an offer for someone else to help clean, especially if it is a good friend. (Some people may feel that this is a very personal/private thing, so you need to tread carefully.) If you really want to take it to the next level, consider this idea: One time, my neighbor and friend had been through an especially difficult season. Her family went out of town for a week and I contacted her husband ahead of time and got a key to her house. While they were gone, a few of us went over and deep cleaned her kitchen and all the bathrooms.
Make muffins that can be put in the freezer (paying attention to allergy restrictions)
Muffins are one of my favorite things to make for a friend because they may be getting meals from others, but usually they don’t have breakfast items. Muffins can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack, and they can be put in the freezer for later. Some of my favorite muffin recipes:
