“In the end, ... maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.”
--Elizabeth Gilbert
We have been recipients of: Homemade Dinner and Dessert Deliveries, Pick up Pizza Deliveries, "Leftover" Sharing, Carpool Driving, Yard Parties, House Parties, Date Night Invites, Pet Sitting, Ingredient Borrowing, Activity Hosting, Plant Gifting, Yard Working, Wedding Helping, Service Offering, Children Teaching, Hug Lending, Inspirational Encouraging, Deep Conversations, Tear Wiping, Burden Lifting, and so much more from the folks next door, and across the street!
Today I am grateful for neighbors who have become cheery acquaintances, dear friends; and even family--who serve without even realizing, because it just comes naturally, but are engaged in our behalf, sometimes unawares, on the errand of Angels.
