Take a moment to think about the neighbors who you have in your life. Not just the people who happen to live next door, but the people you interact with at work, at church, or even just in your everyday activities. For some of us, we may only be able to count one or two, or you may be a person who spends some sort of time with dozens of individuals every day. No matter the number, we as believers have the chance to see each of these small interactions as an opportunity to serve and encourage others—to show love and recognition to those who feel forgotten, to give a friendly smile to show a bit of care in a world that often feels careless, or even choose to have a conversation over rushing out to your next errand. You never know the impact of one small encouragement, and we also may never know the seeds that God is planting through these everyday conversations.

So this week, learn the name of the barista who makes your coffee or say hello to the fellow commuter you see on your daily bus ride. Remember them in your prayers, and let them know that you are continually praying for them as well.
