Did you get a project together in the last week? What was it in your area?
One thing that really stood out to me about Jesus was the fact that most of the time he did things together. He walked with his disciples ate with them and did tasks with them together. That brought a great sense of togetherness.
When you look at a neighborhood and neighbors in that context, how do you think it could look like there? As an example if you go grocery shopping don’t go by yourself, go together with a neighbor. All of us have to go grocery shopping and usually it’s a good way to connect while driving there. Instead of using 2 cars, use 1. It doesn’t just save you gas, but its also good for the environment. It creates an immediate sense of community.
Here is an action step:
Before you go grocery shopping this week, talk to your neighbor that you know the best if they would like to go together!
Hey our friend
We hope your week was amazing!! This week we had a team here from Colorado that wanted to learn about how they can love their neighbors. It was a wonderful time. We also had our half yearly Evaluation meeting which was this time hold in San Francisco. It was an encouraging time. This coming Friday we will watch the Movie the Shack together with our Encouragment Group. Make sure to see it. It comes out March 3rd.
Thank you for all your Prayers and support. You are truly a blessing!!
May this week be a week of Hope!!

Each year this special holiday comes around which in its name encourages us to be thankful. It is so easy to look at things in our life or the world that would make us upset and makes us ungrateful. But when you are ungrateful it can really affect your life in a negative way. In the moment you focus on the bad things in your life it starts to affect every part of you. But the opposite is true as well. When you look at the good in life and start being thankful for it, it affects you in a positive way. When you look at the verse above in Philippians it gives you a guide on what you should put your focus on.
