Preserving our neighborhoods
THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
In many communities people are joining together to restore and preserve their aging neighborhoods. Buildings that had become dilapidated are being renovated and returned to beauty and purpose. On once ugly vacant lots neighbors are gathering to create lovely gardens.
Such projects do much to clean up neighborhoods and to give people greater comfort and security. Yet through prayer even more can be done for all neighborhoods.
My husband and I have lived in numerous areas and neighborhoods. We have lived in a tent in a state park, a basement apartment in a northern state, a two-story house in a large city. In each material structure we prayed to realize the true concept of home. That is, we established in our thinking the fact that home, in its truest sense, is not a material place in a particular location; rather, conceived of spiritually, home is composed of such God-derived qualities as peace, love, unselfishness, joy. As these qualities are expressed, the feeling of home is maintained wherever we live.
