The Daily Prompt – No. 242
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I don’t watch much movies. For example, I have never seen any of the Star Wars films. I wasn’t brought up on the typical diet of films. My parents didn’t want too much raw imagery in my head growing up.

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
Not really, because I always feel like I need to do something. I believe that it comes from a place of unproductivity. Rest is productive but laziness is not. One comes from purpose and intention while the other comes from the lack thereof.

What makes a good neighbor?
There’s an adage that states “Good fences make good neighbors.” A good neighbor is someone who recognizes their boundaries. This is based on mutual respect and integrity. Otherwise the person will become a nuisance.
This question reminds me of Steve Urkel’s character in the TV show “Family Matters”. He was often the comic relief of the show. His comedic value was shown in the way he constantly interacted with his next door neighbors, the Winslows. He would constantly appear in the Winslows’ house without invitation and inadvertently cause mischief. Often times Steve’s presence in the house caused a lot of consternation to the patriarch of the family, Carl Winslow.
Steve did not know his boundary with the Winslow and a bad neighbor will exhibit the same awareness. Neighbors have to be aware and respect their neighbors boundaries. Otherwise they will be a pain in the side much like Steve Urkel.

Verse of the Day
“I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom. I saw that thorns had grown up all over it, the ground was covered with weeds, and its stone wall was broken down. When I saw this, I gave careful consideration to it; I received instruction from what I saw: “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax, and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber.””
Proverbs 24:30-34 NET
https://bible.com/bible/107/pro.24.30-34.NETThere’s a time to rest but there’s a time to be diligent. Taking time off to relax and not delaying gratification excessively will result in short-term pleasure, but will lead to long-term lack. There’s a balance that must be sought and only God can enlighten that balance for each individual.
