The other night we heard much shouting coming from the neighbor's house. In a way, we've become calloused to the noise because it happens occasionally. This time, however, we discovered that someone had attempted to break into the neighbor's house. We got that impression when three cop cars showed up. Oops.
Something good may come of this. I mention this because we've lived here for over two years and have never had any contact with the neighbors. They come home from work, open and close their front gate, and pronto. They're in, and we're out.
It's funny how a crook jumping a fence can shake a person's perspective. I remember how it was for me a few years ago when four thugs entered my home at night. It took a year for me to get over the trauma.
We just had a short conversation and exchanged phone numbers with Cristiane. She wants to help us (and us to help her) if this uninvited guest ever comes back. She's suddenly become interested in friendship. 😇 We'll see what the Lord does with this opportunity.
