day no. 15,981: serving your neighbor with singing

Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

You serve your neighbor by singing so that he can hear you. Your neighbor does not benefit merely from knowing that you're off somewhere singing. He needs to hear your voice, lifted up, and singing. He needs to hear the sound of your gratitude out loud, in person, and ringing in his ears.
