WE ARE SO HUMBLED AND BLESSED

 We are so very humbled and blessed to have the next door neighbors we have.

I have posted this on FB but I know many of you aren't on that so here goes...

Our neighbor Mike saw that our Blue Spruce tree in the front yard was really dying and on its last leg. 

He said I'll come over and cut it down for you...

When I looked out the window there was Mike and his wife Shirley chopping and loading it into the green waste can.  I just couldn't believe Shirley was out there working so hard ...  it made me cry.

How does one ever repay for that kind of kindness?

We are So, So, Blessed.


I was in total shock as I looked through the blinds.


Of course Dave and I went out there and chatted and thanked them profusely.



Dave helped put some of the dead branches into the can.

My nose started to run from all of the pollen.  I had to go inside.



All that is left of the once beautiful tree is a bit of stump in the ceramic pot.
The yard looks kind of naked but it does look so clean and open.


God has given us a wonderful place to live and we call this our "Forever Home".

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

It is so nice to have good neighbors that really care and are always ready to help. I have good neighbors as well. I can't imagine living in a big city and not knowing the people who live right next door to us. Such a wonderful Blessing for you all..

Wow, such kindness! What a blessing! Folks like this make life so much more wonderful. We used to do that for elderly neighbors too and gave Jesus the glory for it. Now that we are elderly, our neighborhood has been so helpful when we needed a helping hand. My usefulness for God now has shifted to Prayer Warrior for those in need. He has touched my heart to pray for all our neighbors every day about whatever their needs or concerns are and my God get the glory for it. Have a blessed day sweet gal! 💞
