Being a Good Neighbor!

What is a good Neighbor? TJ gave a great talk yesterday at Church about being a good neighbor. While he was preparing his talk we talked a lot about the subject. We talked about the parable of the Good Samaritan. We all know the parable about the Good Samaritan. Well TJ shared with me a different look at this parable that he heard during a religion class at BYU. We being the "certain man" covered in sin. The Savior being the "Good Samaritan" who comes and takes care of us through the Atonement. He leaves us in the care of the "inn keeper", or church leaders, until he comes again. So in this case, who is Neighbor? Christ or today, those who act as Christ would act. So, What makes a good Neighbor? Someone who treats others the way Christ would treat them. Well we have been blessed by so many GOOD NEIGHBORS, especially the past few months as we have been in our new home! We have been blessed by the kindness of so many. People helping move in and going above and beyond what they were asked to do! Others helping with our new home owner questions. Wonderful people willing to care for Lily so we can go to the Temple! And time and time again by those that live right next door to us! We are in the right place and Heavenly Father has placed amazing people all around us to show us love and friendship! Our next door neighbors have been so wonderful! They have taken care of us since the very day we moved in! The latest fruits of their Neighborliness has made Lily one very lucky and happy little girl! They have two daughters and don't plan on having more so they have been too kind to share the toys that their girls have grown out of! Lily is the proud new owner of some very fun yard toys! She would play out there all day long! I just love that every time she plays on her new toys she mentions the little girl that gave them to her and we get to talk about the kindness of our neighbors!
With all that continually happens to us, I feel like I have not done enough to be a good neighbor to others. I am trying, but I fall so short. I guess that gives me something to aspire to and I am trying to do so! Well after the ramblings, here are a few pictures of our Adorable Little Lily enjoying her new toys! Thanks for everyone that is so Neighborly to us!
