It’s a wonder we’re spending the winter where we are, given we had originally planned to be two states over. But certain circumstances prompted a change in plan and, rather than start from scratch trying to find another RV park to stay at for that long of a time, I began by calling the park I knew some friends were going to be staying at. They not only had availability; they could put us right next door to our friends.
These friends were our neighbors the first year we wintered in Texas, so we’ve know them since 2017, and they are some of our favorite people. Our relationship was tested during the 2020 presidential race, and again during the covid plandemic. I’m grateful the four of us have remained friends and have been able to coexist peacefully in spite of our differences, not just being next door neighbors, but going out to dinner together often.🙏🏽
Imagine my surprise when our neighbor wandered over yesterday, sat down on one of our lawn chairs, and asked quite honestly, “Why do you like Trump?” I held my breath. Not only do I never know what my husband’s going to say, lately he’s been kidding our neighbor about all of Biden’s confidential documents being found in the most unlikely of places.
“Well, he’s been the only president in my lifetime to actually care about the people and do what he said he’d do,” my husband replied. I was both relieved and pleased. Our friend did not dispute. And later on, the three of us went for an hour-long bike ride along the beach.
I’m grateful our friend is waking up.🙏🏽
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. ~Romans 8:25
