Just hanging out

So, how does one go about meeting neighbors? That is the question of the day for us. We are praying each day for God to give us "divine appointments".
We go out each day for various reasons expecting something. Keep praying for us as we meet store clerks and market people. This is a start...
We sat outside yesterday hoping that we would meet someone. I have noticed through the years that if one has a baby, young child or a cute dog that complete strangers will have the courage to strike up a conversation with you. Well, after some discussion, we decided that these were not the options that would work for us... So, what to do? Jerry said that maybe we should be the complete strangers that strike up the conversations with the folks who have a baby, young child or cute dog. So....that is our plan for now. Will you pray for us as we go about meeting our neighbors? All we need is a couple or two.

So, for now the plan is to hang out and meet people.

Do you want to "borrow" a cute baby (or 3yr old!) for an extended period of time?! We might be willing to make a deal! lol. Iris.

That reminds me of when we were in Trenton and I did literally borrow a friend's baby to take to the park and meet people! (my friend didn't mind the break!) You could always try bowling. That's Donnie's strategy! Or pool.

we would love to borrow one of your children! they are all the cutest kids we know.
Maybe bowling!>? we are praying for warm weather now, it has been overcast and cold for 2 days now...once it snows, we will have to find alternative ideas...
