LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." LUKE 10:27
Jesus also said that the way that others will know that we are His disciples is by the way we love others. You can show His love by blessing a family in need in our community. This love can come through a care package, meal, or gift.
