There is a fad program of late called "Love your neighbor." A day is selected, a Saturday. Programs are visited by members who show support, love and care in various ways. An elementary school, a homeless shelter, the local firehouse might all be recipients.
It is a good idea and it is, they are good programs.
But, they should be seeds of a lifestyle, not, never a one and done. If they serve to teach people that this one Saturday should turn into a lifestyle, then great. If they serve as a day that can help the self centered Christian feel like they are loving, then it is time for more education.
We don't "interrupt our lives" to love our neighbors. Loving our neighbors is meant to be inert. It is meant to be daily, hourly, moment by moment. Not one Saturday per year, but every Saturday, every week, every day.
Love your neighbor.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
