Two days later, I got an idea: I would bake cookies.
It was my intention to bring the blessing of Jesus
to those on my block through kindness. That day
a friend and I delivered 22 packages of cookies to
every house on my block. In doing so, we brought
blessing and kindness and generosity.
Since that time, neighbors have stopped by to
visit. I've made friends with those living directly
next door. I have been able to pray with other
neighbors, and I continue to see a shift toward
good. I pray that God will bless my street with His
good, His beauty, His grace, His kindness, and
His peace. And my role is to partner with Him to
bring His blessing.
