Hidden moments

Just yesterday my town ,and surrounding counties got hit bad with snow. Snow days for nearly all school and even many job sites were closed down. I loved having another day off but was regretting to see who could help clear the snow. Andrew still had to work and by the time he would come home it's dinner then changing for his weekly fire department drill. So on a tight budget we decided to post in our neighborhoods facebook group and see if anyone could plow us out for 20$. He came and plowed and I saw him then leave to plow out the next driveway. As I was talking to a good missionary friend elder Fierros about life's blessings my husband told me the neighbor was pliwing people out for free. This was so humbling to know we have others who help when needed. I posted a big thank you in the facebook group and let him know that now Andrew could make it to any fire calls that may occur and he could then help others. 

It's been great livig in this neighborhood on and off in my lifetime. We moved into my Papa's home (grandpa) and have been making it our own now for a year and a half. But growing up I spent nearly every weekend at this home and in college lived there here while attending a local community college. As neighbors have come and gone the community has changed but we still manage to always bring in the best people. 

Just this summer during some garage sales we hit the jackpot at a neighbors home. We had my papa with us and he purchased a play house for us, as we were just about ready to open our home to respite foster children. The homeowner found out and said anything that didn't sell we were welcome to having. We gained many books, toys and even a train table that has somehow landed in our living room as a coffee table over these last several months. The kids love it and enjoy it all the time. My best friends daughters even get excited to use cars on it and play. We were so blessed to meet this neighbor and a few of the other ones this summer. I can't wait until this summer when I can push my son around and meet more of my wonderful neighbors. 

It's nice seeing everyone come together at many times of the year to help others.
