Loving my neighbor - Part 2

This post about loving my neighbor is a bit different from the neighbors in my previous posts, because while I didn't really know the neighbors that I tried to reach out to earlier, the neighbor in this post is actually a good friend from high school, who is literally moving in next door!

I'm so excited, because after 20+ years of living sooo far away from all my friends, and commuting 45+ minutes to meet up with them, someone is finally moving to my neck of the woods! Woohoo!! To help my friend get adjusted to his new environment, I bought him some shuttle bus tickets (we kinda live in the boonies) and drew him a map of where the bus stops are.

I pray that God will bless his new home, and that everyone in his household may know the great love of Jesus!

Getting to know your neighbor is love!

I work in one of those old industrial buildings, and unlike modern offices, the offices in our building are pretty spaced out from each other, so it's quite hard to get to know our neighbor, unless I proactively try to seek them out.

Well, God knows I'm lazy (horrible, I know), and still blessed me today, by letting me cross paths with one of our neighbors. I was at one end of our long corridor getting ready to get in the elevator going down, when she just stepped out of her office, all the way on the other end of the long corridor. Instead of getting into the elevator really fast and closing the doors on her, I yelled down the hall to let her know that there's an elevator on this side of the corridor, and for her to take her time, because I could hold it for her.

Even though the elevator ride was short, but it was refreshing being able to meet our neighbor. I pray that God will let our paths cross again in the future, as He tells us to "love your neighbor as yourself."

Loving my neighbors

I decided that it wasn't enough to just send love and invite one person to Alpha, so I picked up a stash of Alpha cards, and stuffed them in my neighbors' mailboxes. Sure, I'm spamming people, but this spam could change souls for eternity! I thought I could take the risk of being called a solicitor, in hopes that more will come to know the glories of our wonderful Lord!

"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth.
May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you.
Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us.
God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him."
