One of the lesson learnt out of my church camp that I attended was service evangelism.... As Christians, we are to share about God's goodness and this sharing should be a product out of our love for God rather than a burdensome responsibility. The speaker shared many practical ways that we could expressed God's love to people around us.
So deep inside me, there is something that I wanted to really do for one of my neighbors... Some background first... we got to know this neighbor 2 years ago when they were searching for someone to take care of their 2 months old baby girl (they wanted to change the baby sitter then), hubby offered MIL and MIL helped to take care the baby for close to 3 weeks....
Occasionally I brought my kids to visit the daughter (now 3) and they will play together, the mother is heavily pregnant now and expecting anytime from now.... due to fatigue and the family has just ventured into a small business, all attention is on the business now, leaving the house pretty unkept..... hmm...so there's this thought in my mind.... when the wife go for confinement in the confinement center later, we will get the house cleaned up and organized again to welcome the arrival of the mother and new baby back home....
My hubby commented, "Well OK, the problem is would they let you in?", then I say "that's your job, discussed with the husband (hubby knows him and he's quite a nice and open guy)".... hubby said... "err......we'll see".
So you think our plan will work? Have you serve your neighbors before???
