The ones at work live there for security and drive me nuts in their dependency and manipulative. The ones next door are young, broke, noisy (the guy hollers all night and the dogs bark all morning). I have an easier time with the noisy ones, to tell you the truth. My husband has patience with the others. <br /><br />Thank you for your hard work on this post, it was wonderful.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-44179491838214133582012-08-05T05:35:24.288-07:002012-08-05T05:35:24.288-07:00Lovely post.

I also have the sweetest neighbours, he is always bringing vintage treasures that he has found and no longer wants, or mowing our lawn or so many other things. I do my best to return favours with baked goods. I need to do something real soon.

Your words are gentle yet wise, not boasting about what you have learned but generously sharing with us the precious "chunks" of living bread you have been given.<br /><br />This is another post that speaks deeply to my heart this morning. I am in a difficult relationship, one you described. And while it is easier to discard that friendship, I am aware that God is calling me to be a life giver to that needy person.<br /><br />Your wise counsel of taking that difficult friendship is the road I will take.<br /><br />My eyes teared up at your story of Bernie. Oh, how I want to be such a neighbor to people God sends my way.<br /><br />Proverbs tells us Do not withhold good from another when it is in your power to give it.<br /><br />Thank you for this post, and I praise God for giving you the words to write.<br /><br />Love<br />LidiaCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-91259309665443763162012-07-31T19:33:22.260-07:002012-07-31T19:33:22.260-07:00Hi Pamela,
