Neighborly Love

We forgot to take out the trash last night. I just ran it out this morning. Come to find out, the truck must have already done our side of the street. So, unbeknownst to me, my neighbor grabbed our can and put it in his driveway to be collected with his trash. Then, right after the truck came, he quickly ran our can back across the street to our driveway. I would never have known if I hadn't happened to look out the window as he was doing it.

Today also happens to be the feast day of St. Maximilian Kolbe who made the ultimate sacrifice in laying down his life for a fellow prisoner at Auschwitz. He is quoted as saying, "A single act of love makes the soul return to life".

Thank you to my amazing neighbor for not being indifferent & for your small sacrifice of neighborly love. 💕
