Like a Good Neighbor!
We bought some furniture the other day on a local Facebook site. We drove through a sleet storm and didn’t get home until dark. We called our neighbor down the block for help and he and his wife both came and helped me carry in a very heavy sofa. They told us of a sale two doors down from them, of people who had sold their home and were selling everything. When we got there yesterday we found an eight piece sectional, hardly ever used for $200. Our same neighbor Terry, met us at the house and helped me load the sectional and a king size bed that was never used as well! I told him that either Lou Ann and I did something really wonderful in a past life or he and his wife are piling up points for the next life. Then our friend two miles away let us use his truck to transport it all.
This is what I describe as spiritual living. It is not about showing up at a place of worship. It is not about attending classes to learn valuable life principles. It isn’t even about praying or meditating. It is about loving acts of kindness. I personally don’t believe in an actual place like Heaven. If there were, these kind folks would probably get a front row seat! Many folks are wondering how we will ever turn things around on planet Earth and create the society we desire. This is it! Be a good neighbor! When enough acts of kindness outweigh our not thoughtful acts, we will create Heaven on Earth. Exactly where it should be! From my deeply thankful heart to yours, Thomas
