Today is one year in our new home. How we got here is a long story, but we know God intended for us to be here. We have made friends quickly, the church is so friendly and accomodating, the lifestyle is so slow and easy-going. We have a little land, a few animals, freedom to spread out and be. I absolutely love it here. Last night I took the kids Trick-or-Treating. The neighbor down the lane, a bachelor about 55 years old, was not expecting anyone. He said he had never had trick-or-treaters in all his years here. He came back out carrying a coffee can and said, "This isn't candy..." I thought oh, no, he isn't going to give them coffee beans?! He poured out a bunch of change into each boy's treat bucket and asked them to keep any screws or keys or things they might find and return them later! That's what I love about being here. Thank you God for placing us in such a wonderful place. May we bring glory and honor to your Name. Amen.
