Goal: Say, "Howdy Neighbor!"
In the Bible, one of God's most repeated commands is to love our neighbors. What better way to pay-it-forward, then to fulfill a simple commandment of our loving Father's?? Now obviously.. or maybe it's not so obvious... a "neighbor" in God's eyes means anyone around us and/or anybody near us or in our lives....friends, strangers, family, etc. I would like for this week's goal to mean "neighbor" in the very literal sense of the word-- your next door neighbor.
Show an act of love to your next door neighbor this week. This could be anything from simply introducing yourself, because Lord knows that many of us like to stay cooped up in the comfort of our homes; to inviting them over for dinner; to baking them cookies or a meal; or taking their newspaper up to their doorstep; or scooping up the dog poo in their yards that belong to your dog ( .... I need to do this one!); or if you live in an apartment, you could help them carry their groceries up the 3 flights of stairs, etc., etc. The possibilities of helping are ENDLESS!
Since I've recently referenced "Tim the Toolman Taylor" in one of my blogs, I thought it only fair that I also reference his good friend... "Howdy Neighbor", Wilson. We all know and love Wilson.... he was full of good advice and was one of Tim's best friends. Could we maybe become friends with one of our neighbors, and we just don't know it yet?? Find out! Step out of your comfort zones and let's say "Howdy" to our neighbors this week! Show 'em some love! =)
