September 2015 Volume 9 Issue 1 Yesterday, I went by a local restaurant to eat with a co-worker from another county. The restaurant was filled with people visiting family, taking a break from work, and taking time to eat from working on community projects. I talked with several people, knew even more and introduced my co-worker. She felt so warmly greeted and accepted by our community. This morning, the boys and I stopped by a local store and was greeted and teased by the coffee drinkers discussing local goings on (and politics, I’m sure). Last night, I attended church in town and was greeted with genuine kindness. My son attended a different church in town. I asked about who were his friends in attendance. He said, we are more than friends...we are a family. Our community is filled with people who love people. Our community is poised with warm greeting and salutations. Our community comes together in times of adversity. Our community is made up of people and we are a family. A family that will grieve together. A family that will lift others up. A family that can celebrate together. A family that can learn together, work together and serve together. There is no place on earth that I would rather be‌.than with this community and this family.
