Immediately the Bible verse came to mind “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Respect for each other’s property, keeping an eye on their house if they will be away, chatting at the mailbox, just smiling and waving. A big thing in our family, if a neighbor is having a garage sale, we are the first customersContinue reading ““Love thy neighbor…””
