Jun. 30, 2008 - Service for the Lord
We have a neighbor who has been so crabby with our family or anyone who comes to visit our home, especially my step dad, one time he came out and watered his lawn along with my dad's car. Well he has gotten older and we saw him use a cane with a hook to pick up his newspaper. Then one day we were going to church and he dropped the cane. So my husband sent our son to help him out. Then my husband started putting his paper on his front door step each morning. I was very nervous when we were going out of town to ask any of our neighbors to help him with his paper knowing they would think we were crazy. And knowing that they probably had interacted with him, I had a list of 5 and the first person said yes. The man who lives behind us knew of him they had had words but was happy to help us out for a few days. And now for us and the kids he will bring over or have a friend bring over some fresh fruit or nuts, or a yummy bakery item. It has been good for the kids to look out and do something as simple as take a newspaper up to the door and really bless this man.
Then one day my son was out side and this neighbor drove up to the house and asked him what kind of pie do you like(it was around Thanksgiving) and he brought us a pumpkin pie from a local bakery. Very Yummy I must add. I told him it was all my husbands doing. And then when my husband leaves prior to the paper coming we all do it. This has been a real blessing to our kids and we look out for him when since he lives alone. He has turned out to be very nice. I think he is lonely and sad and now old on top of it.
