Are you a good neighbor? A few things to consider:
  • Do you assume the worst about your neighbors, or do you give them the benefit of the doubt when you don't understand them?
  • Do you leave them alone in their darkest hours because you don't want to or know how to help them, or do you run to their side and do whatever you can, even if it's the wrong thing, just to try to help?
  • Do you rush to accomplish everything on your "to do" list as quickly as possible, or do you stop and realize how many people you will interact with on your "to do" list and pray for the opportunity to be a breath of fresh air for those people?
  • Do you transform into a monster once you step into your car (be honest!) or do you try to exemplify loving, Christlike behavior even from behind the wheel?


  • Do you roll your eyes when you pass homeless or unkempt people, or do you pray for them and try to "teach them how to fish"?
  • Do you ever pay it forward and pay for a stranger's lunch, morning coffee, gas, or take out the neighbor's trash, bring over a pie, etc.. "just because"? 
  •  Do you care for the environment and take responsibility for your own trash, try to limit your consumption, and participate in clean-up efforts?




Just some things to ponder...
