My neighbour

I sat out on my porch with my neighbour tonight. It was a real encouragement. I was just walking back from the local MAX where I bought a pack of Captain Blacks, and I saw her out in front of the porch. She apologized to me about plashing me with her car the pervious day, but we ended up talking for a bit. After a couple of minutes of us just chatting, I asked her if she wanted to sit down on our porch. She agreed and we talked some more. I learned that her name is Ann, which I had forgotten, she had been married twice, and she had a seven year old son named David. Also I learned what she had done to end up as my neighbour. We even had a heart to heart chat, and it gave me a good feeling. Afterwards she said that if I was ever bored and wanted a pizza that we could go and get one. She also thanked me for asking her to sit. Apparently she really needed it. That was such an encouragement. I have tried to "love thy neighbour" but now I actually saw it pay off, I saw the difference it made in her eyes. And I like seeing that.
