Yesterday was Day 3 of the #LightTheWorld and I didn't feel as if it needed it's own post, so that's my reasoning for combining the two today.
On Day 3 it talked about keeping the Sabbath Day holy and doing things that would help draw families together. GM and I went over to my parent's house for a family dinner because we were celebrating the birthday of my sister (the 5th). I also wrote a letter to a good friend of mine who I haven't talked to in a while (so, I guess my good estranged friend).
Family is the MOST important thing to GM and myself. I always grew up hearing that "friends come and go, but families are forever". Which was really annoying when my siblings and I were fighting, but now that I'm older, I see the wisdom in putting family first.
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't make room for friends and neighbors.
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself", that's what Matthew 22:39 states and what is the theme of Day 4.
Now for those of you who don't know, I am a baking fiend. I love everything about it, the chemistry between ingredients, the way the house smells after good things have been in the oven, and the way food makes people feel loved. There is almost no bad side to baking, well, besides doing the dishes if my enthusiasm has washed by the time it comes around to do them.
And that's why you always clean as you go, that way there is no discouraging mound of dishes GM has to do after my goodie project is done.
I put my baking addiction in here because it's relevant, I promise. I know what I want to do to spread love to my neighbors: chocolate brownies.
Nothing says "I care about you" quite like homemade chocolate, fudgy brownies. At least in my humble opinion. So look out neighbors, here they come.
