Neighborhood shower



You have met the Garden Club before. They are the best group of neighbors I have ever heard of. We have been here for 18 months and these ladies offered to throw us a baby shower on Tues night and it was very special. Our little girl will have a neighborhood full of "grandparents" who are so excited about her. Some of them handmade things for her like a beautiful white afghan, handmade burp cloth, and Barbara is cross stitching on a quilt. These ladies shared some great wisdom with us that was of great encouragement and humor. Dot Ford reminded me that "there is a short time between diapers and thongs so I'd better enjoy the process"! Mom got to be there with me to meet these special ladies. It brings to life Proverbs 27:10 - :"{it's better to have a neighbor nearby than a brother far away." A special thanks to Jo Ellen for her prayer for us that night. There's something very special about a prayer from a mom who has recently lost a daughter as she prays for us who will soon bring a daughter into the world. Sincere and powerful is all I can say! We are so blessed and encouraged. I hope you have good neighbors. If not, be one!
