We can love our family, our spouses,
our girl/boyfriends, but they can drive us crazy too!
1. Who
is the easiest person in your family (either current family or biological
family) to love? Why?
2. Who
is the hardest person in your family (either current or biological family) to
love? Why?
3. Have
you ever shown love to a neighbor, who wasn't necessarily a good neighbor?

ReplyDeletewhen we moved to Alaska we made an offer on a house after only seeing pictures. the neighborhood was nice and so was the house. we knew it was on the cul-de-sac, but didn't realize that it border a much less desirable property to the back.
the neighboring subdivision had a lot fewer rules and the owner of the property behind us had built a shed (think 3-4 car garage sized) at the very back of their property (so they didn't have to see the shoddy construction we thought). our builder had put up a fence to mask the problem, but it was still there.
when we moved in it was used for raising dogs (puppy mill?)
then it was used as a practice space for a band
one day while in the back yard we met a new renter of said shack, he pointed at 10 or so recked cars and said "I bought all these for $500!" the auto repair shop would be the longest standing group in the building.
one day as we were eating lunch I looked out the window and saw that building on fire. I ran outside, connecting hoses to one another and helped to put the fire out - Sarah brought out our fire extinguishers as well.
our "neighbors" and the fire department both agreed that we were what saved that building. somewhere in the back of our minds (okay, so we actually talked about it too) we were like, dang! that was our chance to get rid of that ugly building and all the noise and aggravation - but we both knew we did what we had to do . . . I do kinda wish they would have replaced my fire extinguisher tho ;)
