Good Time to be a Good Neighbor

These hot days of a sizzling summer are a good time to be a good neighbor.

Vulernable neighbors are at risk.

Check in on the elderly nearby. And, remind others of the need to hydrate often with the temperatures cooking us all at 100 today in the metropolitan Detroit area.

Dehydration begins quickly when the body is not consuming sufficient fluids.

Taking to heart the great scriptural mandates to "love God and neighbor with all one's heart, mind and soul," and, "to love your neighbor as yourself" are key reminders in these baking temperatures, for sure.

Senior residents may be feeling isolated closed up inside their home, or, worse, abandoned by the great weather God, and creator. They may need something from the store and too weary from the heat to get out and get what is necessary for survival.

Others may need to know about drinking unsweetened tea, plenty of water, and other non-caffenated, nonalcoholic beverages.

Indeed, it is a good time to be a neighbor.

For sure.

Be that neighbor now.
