This weekend we will be entertaining visitors from Florida. These are the people who lovingly opened their home to us when ours burned in 1983. They had 3 boys, so therefore had a houseful all by themselves, but invited the four of us to stay so we could be close to the rebuilding process. They lived next door. The night our house burned, we had known them for a few months, as they had moved in that summer. Who do you know that would do this? Keep in mind that we were the pariahs of the neighborhood. Pot-smoking, beer drinking, loud party hosting, all the things neighbors can't stand. Didn't even faze them. These people were sent by God, and were instrumental in our acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
I can't wait to see them.
Y'know, there are people who, after a long absence, seem to be someone you need to get to know again? Not these two. They could have not talked to us in years, will come in, sit at the kitchen table, and it is as if they had never left. I love it. Did I mention I can't wait to see them?
