Loving you neighbour is sometimes hard. That dirty old homeless man is much less than attractive, and you would much rather just walk by him on the other side of the road. It would be much easier to just go on with your day, that doesn’t mean it would be right though. That is what love your neighbour is all about: stepping out of your way to show a little love to someone who needs it. Jesus says in Matthew 22:37-39:
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like into it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Our desire for “loveyourneighbour” is that people would be inspired to do just that, love their neighbours. In this blog we will embark on a series of little things that we will do to show love to the world. Yes, it will take time, and a lot of effort, but we know it will all be worth it in the end. A little love goes a long way. We invite you now to join us in these projects that are bound to put a smile on someone’s face.

♥The whole idea of this site came from my sister Isi. She has intense passion for the things she loves, and her heart it to serve the LORD with all that she has. She likes to come up with new ideas to help others. She is the root of this first project that we are about to announce. She likes to sew and make things…the reason we are making things for our first project. (o:
♥My sister Tati is that next inventor of this site. She also likes to create things, and she likes to make people laugh. She loves to laugh. I think it is a gift. For I believe that God so loves laughter. She really loves life, and making people smile. Jesus is her passion. Sometimes you can’t give a lot, but a smile goes a long way for a person having a bad day.
♥Then there is me. I man the site for love*your neighbor. I love people, and I love doing things that help others, and I love God. I believe that time should not be wasted. God has given us this precious life, and we should not waste it! It is a beautiful thing when you do something out of your way for someone else. Making things also makes me happy, another reason love*your neighbour is such a good project for us. I am very spontaneous in what I do, and my two sisters help me stay on track. (o:
