Neighbors

(photo by Kirk Boettcher)

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbors.

~ Gilbert K. Chesterton

My brother sent me this photo at the end of last year. I chuckled and thought about the disruption of the scene and the fact that there are two Marys in this particular scene. A few minutes later, Kirk wrote me back and said, but look in the windows.

I don't know who these people are, but whoever they are I would like to be friends with them. That said, I want to be the kind of friends with them who talk out in the yard. I don't want to be the kind of friends who go into their house.
