We used to have neighbors!
They were real live people we knew and considered to be our friends.
Two of our children were born at night.
So, I ran to our neighbor next door to watch our other kids.
It was just assumed that was what neighbors did.
Not today!
We don’t even know our neighbors’ names.
How about your neighborhood?
Sound familiar?
Once, after moving into a new neighborhood, we had a party.
We put an invitation in everyone’s mailbox that read,
“We are your new neighbors. We don’t know you, but we’d like to. Come for brunch!”
Every neighbor came.
Someone has to start it.
If not today, when?
