What a word for this week in light of the recent devastation with Hurricane Harvey and the new season we find ourselves entering. How I long for days when Mr. Rogers was a friendly face who greeted us regularly.

I wish I had done that before Hurricane Irene flooded my apartment complex's parking lot. I was safe on the second floor, but the basement apartments and my SUV were not. Had I taken the time to get to know my neighbors before Irene, perhaps we could've helped each other and not suffered such losses. Perhaps, but I certainly made the effort to reach out afterwards to help in whatever way I could.
Today, I couldn't help but think of Mr. Rogers' neighborhood song,"Won't you be mine?"

Luke 10:36-37 "Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." (NASB)

I am your neighbor at Five Minute Friday. I forgot about Mr. Rodger. I love your acrostic for neighbor. Sorry that you were in Houston. All one can do is keep on keeping on. I am new in my neighborhood and it is hard but I am forcing people to meet me LOL. Diana
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had that trouble with Irene, Leigh. That was a bad one.
