Welcome to Our Family!

  • The ABCs of the Character of God

    The ABCs of the Character of God “Train up a child in the way he should go,And when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) Father’s Day is only a week away, but it’s never too early to remind our children (and ourselves) of God’s character. Check out traits of…

  • Thankful

    Happy Birthday! Birthdays. We all have one day each year when we can celebrate. Yes, individuals of all ages have one, which means the more we have, the older we become. My brother and I share the same birthday, but ten years apart. I would like to thank him for accepting this fact and allowing…

  • The Table Is Set

    Holy Week Although the table setting may differ, believers worldwide celebrate Jesus’ last supper with His disciples at various times of the year, especially during Holy Week. What started out as the Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday ended up as Jesus’s crucifixion on Good Friday. Hopefully, you have either seen or heard about…

  • A Daily Walk

    A Daily Walk Many individuals and families enjoy including a walk in their day. Maybe it’s with a friend during a lunch break at work or perhaps it’s part of a family outing. I’d like to share some thoughts on a different kind of walk. Walking with Jesus. Before Jesus ascended back to His Father…

  • God is Faithful

    God is Faithful These last few days, we’ve experienced various weather conditions: We’ve had snow and freezing rain. The sun came out and we started hoping that Spring would soon be near. This past weekend we had rain for two (2) days. The wind had increased significantly, making the day feel even colder. In the…

  • New Year, New Plans

    New Year, New Plans The holidays were amazing! We celebrated the birthday of our Lord and then, a week later, the beginning of a new year. For many of us, 2024 was a difficult and challenging year: family and friends continued to deal with sicknesses, financial loss, losing their jobs, and the brokenness of grief…

  • He Was There All The Time

    He Was There All The Time Looking back on another year, I’m sure we can all agree that 2024 had many obstacles, challenges, sorrows, joys, and blessings. During this year, many of us have lost loved ones; suffered financial hardships; severed relations, and experienced declining health. As devastating as all these are, God has brought…

  • Thank You

    Thank You Gratitude is sweet every day. During the holidays, we are reminded to thank God for His goodness and His blessings. At Love Thy Neighbor Food Pantry, we have so many reasons for which to be thankful. Reverend Kevin and I started a few years back by handing out food to our neighbors in…

  • When God Says, “Wait”.

    When God Says, “Wait”. Technology is both a blessing and a challenge. Microwave ovens became affordable for residential use in the late 1970s, and cell phones became popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. Even as a Baby Boomer, I remember our family enjoying instant mashed potatoes during our evening meal. ATMs and fast-food drive-in…

  • A Teachable Moment

    A Teachable Moment My daughter Stephanie and I left early for the grocery store. Kevin needed the car to go to work and would be gone most of the evening. We shopped for the items on our list and were heading home. I drove in the middle lane, knowing the third lane was about to…
