Your friends and neighbors are not always what they seem. For example, if your community is protected by a volunteer fire department there is a good chance that one of your neighbors serves the community in this capacity. Here on Lake Martin we say “when you call 911, you’re calling your neighbor”.
Volunteers probably have a “real” job doing something totally unrelated to fighting fires or answering medical emergencies. But when the call goes out, even at four o’clock in the morning, they respond. These organizations always need help. If one is in your neighborhood, think about lending a hand.
Some of my friends are not neighbors. They either have become my friends because they hired me as their real estate agent looking for that perfect lake house. Or, they have been a long-time friend “on the lake” or at church and when they decide to sell their home they call me for help. I have so many friends in both categories, it is truly a blessing.
