Neighbors


"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself…" Mark 12:31
December’s meeting was all about being a good neighbor.  After our opening,
 which included an impromptu piano playing of our hymn by Emily, 
Megan led the girls in a discussion of what God says about how we should treat others and how in particular we should treat our neighbors.  
We are to be a light and shinning example of Christ’s love to everyone we come in contact with, even when it’s hard. 
After discussing what it is to be a good neighbor, the girls got busy decorating Christmas Cookies to take around to their neighbors.
The girls were challenged to be extra friendly to those who haven’t been nice to them as well as to those who are friendly back.  Not always an easy task to follow.  Share how you did with your challenge!  Was it easy or hard?  How did the person react?  Did it make a difference in your relationship?
