“We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.”
— G. K. Chesterton

This has been sitting in my “drafts” for a day or so now. But each time I look at it, before I get distracted, it makes me think of the neighbors around my house. Why are they there? For what purpose has God placed me amidst them? If you’re like me, there are some neighbors I talk to all the time, and others that I hardly talk with or have never met other than seeing them from a distance. No matter my level of interaction with them, I have an opportunity to be a witness for Christ. Directly or indirectly. God places us in proximity. What you and I do once we’re there is up to us. He trusts us that much!
