Greetings Dear Reader,
We all have neighbors.
We all choose what kind of neighbor we will be to each other. We make choices based on our own thoughts and
values. My neighbors are diverse in
almost every way I can ponder. Getting
to know them is a blessing.
Whether we think of neighbors on the local, social, or
national scale the obligation is for us to be good. It is required that we treat each neighbor
well. We can be good neighbors if we
choose. Instead we seem to wait for
others to make the first move. My
neighbors and I get along because we talked to each other. I met their children. We talked enough about our lives to know each
other a little.
It is easy to be a good neighbor if we try. I have to be aware enough to see when others
need someone to be neighborly. I need to
be intentional in my attempts to be good to others. I must put the needs of others as a priority
in my life.
The command to love my neighbor is not conditional. It is one of the two basic commands that are
foundational to all law. I cannot love
God properly if I do not love my neighbor.
In a world where darkness seems to gather more quickly and deeply every
day, perhaps the finest light is to love one’s neighbor. Perhaps if others know in advance that I will
love them, they will be more inclined to say yes to the question “please won’t you
be my neighbor?”
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
