As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking of the word NEIGHBOR. I am blessed to live in a wonderful neighborhood. I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t see someone doing something kind for someone else. Yesterday, as I sat on my porch on a beautiful day, I saw a neighbor across the street take some food to another neighbor who has been under the weather. I watched other families ride by on their bikes and stop to say hello. And there were lots of dog walkers and people out planting flowers in their gardens, all taking time to stop and chat.
We even have a NEIGHBOR who, every morning, goes all through the neighborhood, checking on people, bringing cards by for people to sign for special occasions. I have even been blessed with some of her baked goods and bouquets of sweet peas. It’s important to get to know your NEIGHBORS. So much fear has come into our world that people are afraid to get to know one another.
Today, I am going to pray for my NEIGHBORHOOD and see what I can do to be a better NEIGHBOR. Neighborhoods are small communities and together we can do great things. So today, be a great NEIGHBOR. Get to know the people around you and try to build a community based on peace and love. Jesus would expect nothing less.
Have a blessed day!
