New Friend


I am so blessed by God because he gave me a wonderful new friend. Rachel is my 84 years old neighbor. I found the picture of the spunky ladies in swimwear and it reminded me of her.
.
Rachel has a great sense of humor and I love hearing her stories. She is the owner of the duplex that we share. I admire her energy and passion for life. She still drivers herself around and is fighting to keep her independence. I made chicken vegetable soup for supper last night and took some over to her. Rachel fills my heart with joy, wisdom, and faith. I pray that God keeps her in good health, happiness, and humor!

  1. So glad to find that you and she both have a new friend! Interestingly, I was thinking last night of our elderly neighbour who lived next door when the boys were babies. I was remembering what a blessing she was to us, and also how much she loved the boys visiting as she had never had children of her own. It is really good to have friends across generations.

  5. I want a neighbor like that! I never really "connected" with any of my neighbors. My mom is always taking food to her neighbors, as well as receiving food from them, and I just wish I had that kind of relationship with mine. You enjoy!
