Hey Pastor Roger!!

[Rookieupgrade1]

I'm in duplex. Loads of duplexes all around me.

 

I was going to buy one but still felt like renting to me. At times, I think renting would have been better

I rent now but wish that I still owned my own homes.

If you look at my picture, the highway is about 1/2 mile away from my home or more.    Course I've been living here since the 1980's. Back when the population here was only about 100 people. Now it's up to about 250+.

That sounds like a nice place DW, it's so nice to live away from crowds, and traffic, and noise...

DW, I just can't help but saying this. You live exactly where elderly people like PR an myself would love to live

It is nice but living here has given me a lot more of the Lord's work to do. My door is always being knocked on by someone that always has a need of some kind.

That is a fact. I love the country living.

PR, when I lived in Mass. I lived in a town that wasn't very small, yet it seemed to me that I knew everyone there, my door was always being knocked on too. I must say I didn't mind at all, even one night after midnight a woman knocked on my door to ask me if she could sleep on my couch cause her roomate had kicked her out. I didn't even know this woman, someone told her to ask me for help  . Of course she ended up staying with me for a little over a month. There are many, many similar stories such as this one that I can share. I do miss helping people out, although I don't have the energy or the perfect health I had back then, I'm sure I could do it all over again if I had to. I miss being a blessing to people in that sort of way. But God (  ) had more things for me to do so now I am a mom to 2 teenage girls (whew)
who are younger than at least 3 of my grandchildren.
So I guess no matter where I went at this point I would still have some (teenage) noise around, huh?

Sounds like it to me. A lot of those coming to my door are teenagers with various problems. Each one is seeking for more than they have. Being in government housing also means a lot of them showing up here with their hands out. I also had one woman with several kids show up at my door that I have never seen before. She had been turned down at all the local agencies because they were out of funds. She was in bad need of help for her children with no where to go. One of the other residents here sent her to us. My wife and I were able to help her out. She is now working full time and yet she homeschools her children too. She just came to the door the other day with some money and told us to give it to someone else in need.

I remember one family in Mass that had just flwon in from PR (not you, the island  ) and the family member that was supposed to help them skipped out on them. I found them in the street in the middle of February in New England, with no coats and summer attire.(BRRRR). I took them home with me all 5 of them, got them winter clothes from the clothing I kept in the basement everyone in town used to bring it to me so I could donate it, got the kids in school, got mom and dad jobs, and emergency government help. And they moved on to RI. To make a long story short, they bought a house and they were trying to sell their almost brand new refrigerator and gas range, at the same time my brother was then staying with me while he moved his family to Ma. and he went to look at the fridge and stove to buy them, when the people selling the appliances found out that he was my brother, they gave it to him as a gift, their selling price was 750 for both. My brother didn't have that much money. Any way they found out he was my brother, by word of mouth, and I still lived in Ma. they were now living in RI. God Is Good!!!!

[Soldier4Christ]

God Is Good!!!!

[Shammu]

Not as bad as being on a ship with your neighbor being just a foot away from you. I guess the Lord knew I could handle it.

It is very nice, though I do have people asking questions. Those that live accross the river though think I('m a pagan. But they are hard core moron folks. I have witnessed to them in the past. A few on my side of the river, listen to what I have said about Christ.  I sometimes have them asking a new question.

You know, I believe that God has placed each of us in a spot where He feels we are needed.
