Doing life with neighbors isn't rocket science. It only requires availability and a prayerful attitude. We had the Brinkers over last night for steaks, eating outside on the patio. A neighbor friend, Ruby came along looking to play with Jonatha and Aidan, so we invited her to join us at the park.
When we returned from the park, Ruby's sister, Jade and her friend Kelsey wanted in on the fun, so all the kids played duck duck, goose goose in our front yard. That led to meeting another new neighbor, Kelly (Kelsey's mom). We visited with Penny (Ruby and Jade's mom) and Kelly for a bit while the kids played.
What would be considered normal neighbor activity is so much more in our minds. We want to be on display for Christ's love in our neighborhood. By simply visiting in the front yard, we know God can open doors to show his love and share the Gospel. We pray for these opportunities and hope God will continue to allow us to connect with our neighbors. We've lived on Spyglass Dr. for two months now and have been able to have conversations with 6 households representing 15 different people. Praise God!
