​@dee7672 too bad my neighborhood is full of Christians and are absolutely disrespectful anytime they can be. I be good because I care for my fellow human, not because an imaginary friend told me to do so.

They’re keeping Paul alive, that’s for sure.

[@marthangafor6414]

I thought the same.

[@jjhaya]

they keep him well-oiled, and the son joins him to walk to his house so he'll be safe but when the son is going home, Paul joins him so he'll also be safe so after they arrive the son has to join him get back home, it's a loop that probably takes 30 minutes; a good workout . What a wholesome neighbor .

​@@goyonman9655 We don't know what causes Elderly Loniless, but some anecdotal evidence suggests it has to do with being lonely purely speculation.

[@Hangwithcoco123]

Yes I definitely believe that my mother moving my great grandmother in with us definitely caused her to live longer she was very lonely in her old house and while it’s still sad that she has passed away I feel that if it wasn’t for me and my siblings daily interaction with her she would have passed years ago.

🟫THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of the His new and holy name" (What God hates most of all are the superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. Even the day of worship (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is hated by God; and even more God hates and rejects social relations and worldly relations between man and man. God did not even order the spring Festival and Christmas day that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations such as pairs, fireworks, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and parties --Christmas party----aren't they idols in people's mindsthis? The breaking of bread on the Sabbath, Wine, and Fine Linen are even more idolatrous. All the various traditional Festival days known in China, such as "Dragon Heads--raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and New Year's day, and Holidays in the religious world such as Easter, day ofBaptism, and Christmas day, all of these arbitrary Feasts have been organized and passed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. The more the Satans congregate in a location, and the more obsolete and backward that place is, the worse the feudal customs become. Many of the Festivals in the religious world seem to show great originality and seem to create a bridge to God's work, but they are not--they are seen as Satan's bonds that bind people so that they cannot recognize the God--all that iscunning trick of Satan. Actually the work that God is doing today is mainly to deal with and eradicate the superstitious nature of people and completely change their mental outlook.) Almighty God said What GOD hates most of all superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. THINGS LIKE YOUTHS ARRANGE for WEDDING FESTIVALS and DOWRIES for BRIDES; MONEY GIFTS, FEASTS, and similar methods of CELEBRATION of BAD OCCASIONS; ancient INHERITED FORMULAS; ALL the NON--SIGNIFICANT SUPERSTITIONSwork PERFORMED in the NAME of the DEAD and the SEMONY of BURYING them, GOD HATES all of this MORE. 😪 Even the DAY of WORSHIP (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is HATES by GOD; and even MORE GOD HATES and REJECTS SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS and WORLDLY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MEN and MEN. 😪 GOD DIDN'T ORDER even the SPRING FESTIVAL and CHRISTMAS DAY that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations like pares--pares, firecrackers, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and party---Christmas party------- AREN'T those IDOLS in PEOPLE'S MIND this? 😪 BREAKING---PIECES of BREAD on the SABBATH DAY, WINE, and FINE LINEN is even MORE truly an IDOL. All the different TRADITIONAL FESTIVALS known in CHINA, such as "Dragon Heads---raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and NEW YEAR'S DAY, and RELIGIOUS WORLD HOLIDAYS such as CHRISTMAS OF LIFE, DAY OFBAPTISM, and CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL these arbitrary feasts have been organized and handed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. ☀️ HUMANITY'S RICH IMAGINATION and CREATIVE AWARENESS CAUSED them to be PASSED to the DAY. 😪 The MORE the DEVILS GATHER a LOCATION, and the MORE OLD and BACKWARD that PLACE is, the WORSE the FEUDAL CUSTOMS. These things bind people so tightly, that they cannot move. Many of the FESTIVALS in the RELIGION WORLD seem to SHOW great originality and seem to create a BRIDGE to God's work, but they are NOT in FACT----SEEN BANDS of SATAN that BIND them MAN to NOT KNOW GOD----ALL of thatis a cunning DECEPTION of SATAN. 🛑😪 In fact, when a phase of God's work is over, He destroys the tools and styles of that time, leaving no traces. However, "faithful believers" continue to worship tangible material things; WHILE they SET ASIDE what GOD has in their MINDS, NOT STUDYING it ANYMORE, SEEMING to be FULL of LOVE to GOD BUT the REALITY is HE is LONG-TERM when PUSHED OUT of the HOUSE and PLACED SATAN on the TABLE to WORSHIP. 😪 🛑 The IMAGES of JESUS, the CROSS, MARY, the BAPTISM of JESUS ​​and the LAST SUPPER----ALL of these are respected by the PEOPLE as the LORD of HEAVEN, while OVER--OVER AND AGAIN SHOUTING "LORD, FATHER in heaven." Isn't ALL of this a joke? 🛑 Until now, GOD HATES many similar sayings and practices inherited by mankind, THOSE SERIOUSLY BLOCK THE WAY TO GOD and, moreover, become a great hindrance to mankind's entrance. in addition to the EXTENT of SATAN'S CORRUPTION of HUMANITY, PEOPLE'S WILLS are COMPLETELY FILLED with THINGS LIKE Witness Lee's LAW, Lawrence's experiences, Watchman Née's surveys and Paul's work. There is really no way for God to work with people because within them there is too much selfishness, laws, rules, rules and systems, and the like, these things, in addition to the last of the feudal people which superstitions, have captured and devoured thehumanity. What people think is an exciting movie that tells a "fairy tale" that is colorful, with incredible creatures riding on clouds, so creative that people are amazed, leaving them dumb and unable to speak. ACTUALLY, the WORK that GOD is DOING NOW is MAINLY to ATTACK and DELETE the SAD CHARACTERISTICS of PEOPLE and to COMPLETELY CHANGE their MENTAL OUTLINES. 🙏 God's work has not lasted until now because of the heritage passed down by mankind through the generations; it is a work He personally initiates and completes, not necessarily succeeding the legacy of a particular great spiritual person, or inheriting anywork of a representative nature done by God in some other age People don't need to worry about any of these things. God now has a different style of speech and action, so why do people confuse themselves? If people walk today's path contained in the Current while continuing the legacy of their "ancestors," they will never reach their destination. GOD FEELS A STRONG DISGUST for this particular class of MAN'S BEHAVIOR, just as He HATES the YEARS, MONTHS and DAYS of MAN'S WORLD. 🙏 From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). 📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/KZbin! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥 "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ☀️

I've lived @10 states in ye US other countries I always make sure I know my neighbors. When I was younger people didn't move as much as jobs were more secure. As I got older it was just meeting new people and now ya need to also know for security reasons sadly enough. I'm also a people person. If I don't see someone for awhile I worry about them especially seniors. I'm 65 now but the world has not taken away my joy of meeting someone new. I also smile and say hello to the homeless person on the street. It doesn't cost a dime to acknowledge and possibly make someone's day. They !ay be down on their luck but they are still our fellow citizens.

I love how he said “you get many chances to talk to people. If you don’t take a chance, you may miss a friend you would have had.” That’s how I see the world too. I try and talk to as many strangers as I can. Sometimes I make their day and it makes me happy. Go and strike up a conversation at the waiter or the grocery shop. It really makes your day too ☺️

*I've lost all three of my grandfathers, which includes a step-grandpa. 😢 Oh, what I would do to live next door to such a loving and kind-hearted man. My two boys and I would adopt him in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful testimony of what it means to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR and the children are being taught so many valuable lessons.* 🙏🏾

[@YahsdaughterJD]

Never experienced having a grandparent. Only knew my Mom and Dad Must be wonderful❤

[@TheSpawnycat]

I never knew either of my grandfathers, as they both died before I was born. My partner and I don't have any kids and both live far from our biological families, but we moved next door to a couple with two young boys, and during the COVID lockdowns we spent a lot of time with them and now feel like extended family, going to all the kids' recitals, birthdays, etc. It is such a gift to really love your neighbors, and kids can never have too many loving adults in their lives!

[@paanne1013]

I only had one set of grandparents and lost them when they were rather young, but do have wonderful memories of them growing up. We learn so much from them, so sorry you missed out on that.

[@LD-kk6gh]

There’s lots of really lonely people in nursing homes who would love to adopt you! Drop by some with your kids sometime with some coloring supplies you’ll have at least two before the day is over!

[@Cara-39]

@@LD-kk6gh I was just going to say this. Too many ppl in nursing homes don't get any visitors and would be delighted to spend some time with kids. Your coloring books idea is a great one; it's an easy ice breaker and is something in which everyone can participate in their own way

[@suzzanimalchannel1030]

My brother and his family kinda have a neighbour like that too. Their neighbour lives alone and doesn't have any family. Every week the whole family goes to visit him and it makes him so happy. He loves the kids and they often make drawings and other artsy things for him. There are many lonely elderly that would love visits like this.

[@mihkhailgaudette4370]

How nice it is that you can and will do that for your elderly neighbour! And the children are learning valuable lessons from all if your interactions.😊
