She’s been my neighbor for five years. We had the chance to move to this property because she put in a word for us when this house became vacant, and we desperately needed to move. Peter’s family had known her family for many years, but I was still pretty new to his circle of friends and didn’t know anyone very well. We were friends immediately, and our kids have become friends as they’ve been born and grown up together. Each other’s yards, houses, and hearts are havens to the other. I wish I could say we’ll be neighbors forever, but they are fortunate to be building a house down the road that should be completed by next year. And I am so very thankful that God has allowed us this wonderful experience of living next door to each other on this property.
For many months now she’s been struggling with her health as she was expecting her fourth baby. I had never seen anyone have such a hard time with a pregnancy, and yet her attitude and outlook were always faith borne and God~ward. Their fourth child was born on August 1 to an overjoyed family who welcomed him with such a celebration! He is a precious and amazing gift, and a miracle. I love you, my friend, and thank God for you!
