Thank God for Good Neighbors

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. - Proverbs 17:17

Yesterday we spent the day eating, playing, and hanging out with our neighbors. Tonight we saw three different neighbors - one was asking us for a favor, we were discussing plans for the week with another, and we "begged" some food off yet another. We have been truly blessed in the past 14+ years with good neighbors, and this neighborhood is no exception. Sometimes I really dread the day we have to move again (or the day one of our neighbors moves) because we know that they will be sorely missed. It is great when you can fellowship with some of your best friends by simply wandering down the street.

But I'm sure not everyone in the world feels the way I am describing here. Not everyone feels like their neighborhood is the best...so here's a thought...try going out in the next few days and talking to one of your neighbors, just to see what life is like for them. Share a meal sometime in the driveway. Maybe you can be a blessing to them like so many of our neighbors have been to us throughout the years.
