Why is it important?

When Jesus called us to love our neighbor, he gave us a task that is possible for each one of us and is also a blessing for each one of us. Many people around us might feel isolated or don’t feel a sense of belonging (maybe including us), and each one of us can bring change to that. You will see how loving your neighbor will change those things and also the relationships but also how it will give you a greater love for the people around you. It will leave a great impact and it builds a strong and lasting community for your neighbors and you as well to just name a few things. When I think back to last year and how the pandemic affected everyone around the world we saw more and more 1. the need of bringing God’s love to our local places and 2. How important it is to be connected with our neighbors. We got reminded of the call from Jesus also because our neighborhoods were the only places we could go to. So let’s all do this together starting today to take Jesus seriously and love our neighbor. We will give you a monthly tip with how to establish that relationship and love your neighbors in a practical way and then we will all put it into action with the neighbors right around us.  And then watch how over time your neighborhood will change! You, me, and all of us can do it so let’s do it!!

Our tip for this month is offer a neighbor to walk their dog! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

How are you?

Our week was full of wonderful moments. Jen and I celebrated our 11^th wedding anniversary. A friend watched caleb so we went for a few hours to a beautiful lighthouse looking at the pacific. The anniversary made me think of the fact how important it is to celebrate special days and remember them. When you look through the bible you see so many holidays that were celebrated and each one was a way to remember something God did. We want to encourage you to celebrate special days in your life too and with that remember the goodness of God.

Also dont forget this week to bless your neighbor and have fun by walking your neighbors dog!!

God bless you
