Once again the church is doing its 31 days of Light the World, where each day a challenge is given to provide some sort of service or in some way blessing another person's life.
Yesterday's challenge was to visit with a neighbor that you are not well acquainted with.
"Jesus taught us the true definition of loving our neighbor. Have a conversation with a neighbor you don’t know well."
Well, I did it. I first visited Pat Elliott, whose husband has been in the hospital fighting for his life from Covid. He is doing better now, but still can't walk or sit up much. Also, her father-in-law died from Covid during this same time. So, I talked to her about that situation. She didn't have much time as her son was coming to help her with some things.
Next I walked across the street to visit with Jackie, who has been out of town for a couple of weeks. I just went by to welcome her home. I don't her really well, but I try to speak to her whenever she is outside at the same time I am.
As I came back towards my home, I was thinking how sad that my motivation was from a challenge and not just because I WOULD THINK TO DO IT!
Oh, I have so much to learn about being a good, Christ-like person!
