I do this as much as possible. I want to invest in my community and the neighbors who operate these small business. It usually cost me more but the trade off is worth it. So, I challenge you, invest in your neighborhood financially.
Here is a second challenge: invest in your neighborhood spiritually! You don't have to go to the church building to be on mission or invest in your community (the reality is many of you drive out of your community in our car- centric society as it is, so learn to STAY at home during the week loving on those you call your neighbors).
What if we Christians flexed our staying power in our neighborhoods and loved our neighbors as we love ourselves? Think about it.
What are you doing to flex God's love for your neighbor?
