When we first moved into our house almost 7 years ago, we had the only kids on the block. We prayed for more kids and for good neighbors, but also tried to get to know everyone on our street. Our lives have been so enriched by the relationships we have formed with our neighbors. Although I always talk about wanting to buy a new house, I don't know if I would ever go through with a decision like that and the biggest reason is because I really love my neighbors.
Today I was chatting with Carla and her daughter while they were working on a little yard project. Then I offered to move a few bags of mulch while we talked. Before we knew it, Dusty and Amber and Jason and Teresa were there with rakes and gloves and we all finished the project together. I don't like to sound all mushy, but this was a super touching moment and I am very grateful for the wonderful people in my life.
