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 Support Kids in the neighborhood by buying lemonade from their stand! Watch the video with some tips on that!
Hi our friend
We hope you had an amazing week and 4th of July Celebration!!
Once a week I go on a prayer walk to spend extended time with God. Those times are rich and refreshing times. Last week when I did that God opened up some divine appointments to encourage people and to speak hope into their circumstance. One situation was especially interesting since that person literally thought of me one minute before. Isn’t that awesome. I love when God does that. I want to encourage you with 2 things: 1 to have extended times with God 2. To be open to His lead. Trust me its always an adventure with God.
Lemonade and girl scout cookies are so wonderful and knowing when you consume them you blessed neighborhood kids is even better! So this month buy something from neighbor kids!
God bless you
