As hard as this season is, I am convinced we have an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate a central call of our faith: to love our neighbors. Simple connections and acts of kindness can give hope to the discouraged, create new friendships, and even open the door for life-changing conversations.
“Love… Where You Live” is a simple initiative championed by several churches in Katy and West Houston in the midst of our “Shelter in Place” experience.
Imagine a cul-de-sac of families “socially distanced” in their driveways, but sharing stories about their lives. Imagine children giving concerts at curbside on their instruments from the school band. Imagine a widow who lives alone with the new assurance that she has others walking through this with her. And imagine a community of believers praying for their neighbors every day – by name and by need, because they’ve spent the time to listen.
