Good Friends and Neighbors

Some things are worth more than money. Good friends and neighbors sure are. The other week our dryer died. Had to call a repairman – the whole circuit board was bad; about a $250 repair bill coming our way. When I got the bill a week or so later, it was marked paid. When I called the store to see what was going on, they told me a “friend” had paid the bill.

Over the weekend, our neighbor let our girls ride a scooter (the self propelled kind!) that he had when his son was young. The girls loved it. Of course all three wanted one! Yesterday I got a call at work from my wife. The neighbor couldn’t wait any longer he was so excited – him and his wife had gone out and bought each of the girls a scooter and he had come home from lunch so he could give it to them!

It seems like every time I start to worry about money, something like this happens to teach me not to worry. I am in good hands.

It’s nice that my neighbors and friends are taking care of our family, but what is really great is that we have good friends and neighbors that love us and we love – that is priceless.
