The words “love your neighbor” keep coming back to me this week. It is December and the banquets, parties and concerts are filling the days on the calendars. I see the love of my children who live far away and would like so much to help their Mom. They were here this week and cooked and accommodated us in many ways. 

It makes me think of our neighbors, not only the ones that live on our block, but the ones that live in our town and valley. Many find this part of the year the most dreadful. It is cold outside, it gets dark early, the nights are long and the memories invade.

Luke 10:27 tells us to “love the Lord with all our heart …... and love your neighbor as yourself.” This month we need to show our love to those around us, especially the ones who are lonely. Be a friend to someone who does not have any friends.

Let the Lord have His way.
