WORDS OF HOPE
Years ago when I first saw Mr. Rogers Neighborhood I was a cynical teenager. I saw Fred Rogers as sappy and juvenile. I didn’t understand then that his show was not meant for a 19 year old just starting college. Years later I took time to watch a couple of episodes since I ended up working for a while in children’s television.
It was then that I saw the genius of Fred Rogers. He related to children on their level, without talking down to them or trying to “entertain” them. He was there just to be their friend and help them understand the world that was changing around them. By doing that, he was truly their neighbor. Fred treated his audience with respect and love and gave them what they needed to thrive.
Sometimes our neighbor may not be the same as us, in their appearance, status or age, but they are all worthy of our love and respect and most of all they are worthy of our mercy.
PRAYER
May we show mercy to all our neighbors whether they live near us or just cross our paths. May we remember the grace given to us by God and pass that on to all we meet. Won’t you be my neighbor?
Amen
