Just goes to show what a community can do when they put their minds to it.<br /><br />The golden rule definitely applies in tight-knit communities. But more so is the compassion to help neighbors in their time of need. That’s something you don’t often see in the city, and it makes going home from time to time that much lovelier. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.charlesterryconstruction.com/metal-buildings/" rel="nofollow">Charles </a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392464733388736212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046224361000529098.post-37420853141987698312013-07-11T14:17:11.798-05:002013-07-11T14:17:11.798-05:00Not everyone gets a sense of community where they ...Not everyone gets a sense of community where they live.

My neighborhood is of mostly retired folks and just yesterday one of them walked over and gave us a kids swimming pool and some other things that their grand kids have outgrown. It is such a blessing and makes me feel similar to how you feel - proud to be in a neighborhood that takes the time to notice and care. Our church has been advocating for us to Be Good Neighbors and reach outside of ourselves more often. I can honestly say, its been one of the most rewarding things we've done as a family!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160637658065511277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046224361000529098.post-88442941468590552672013-06-20T18:50:20.100-05:002013-06-20T18:50:20.100-05:00I think it is a small town, old-fashioned kinda th...I think it is a small town, old-fashioned kinda thing. I do not see it as much in the city or suburbs. When it happens with us the person we help says something like "you didn't have to do that" which we always reply with "you would do the same for us".Bunkin Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785595097114377386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046224361000529098.post-71204212603701700792013-06-20T15:08:36.663-05:002013-06-20T15:08:36.663-05:00I couldn't agree more!

Our neighbor is elderly and we feed her horses, mow her ditches, and basically anything else she needs. It's always nice to see people coming together to help one another :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129860380061595692noreply@blogger.com
