A Neighborly Turtle - Just For Fun

 
They had a neighbor stop by today
To check that all was well.
He wanted to brighten their day,
But couldn’t reach the bell.
 
His heart was where it’s meant to be,
Offering neighbors grace.
Yet, he found frustration instead
Of a neighborly face.
 
Still, he had tried to reach out to
His neighbors, as he should,
And that was when God’s plan stepped in
To turn this loss to good.
 
For before he could turn and leave
More neighbors stopped by, too,
And they were tall enough to do
The ringing he can’t do.
 
Loving others as ourselves and
Helping in all we do,
Was magnified in that visit…
Friendly neighbors times two!
 
Matthew 22:39
And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
 
1 Corinthians 10:24
Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

Thanks to ATF for this fun photo of a random turtle showing up to a friend's door... just ahead of her arrival.
