Proverbs 25:17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you.

-do you have a neighbor relationship that you have your fill of or you need to evaluate if they have their fill of you?

I evaluated it with one neighbor couple. We just got back from a week long vacation together have been hanging out playing cribbage and euchre on week nights. I sent them this verse and gave them permission to let me know if they had their fill of me and I also let them know I hadn't had my fill of them. They responded with this saying.

"The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you're made of, not the circumstances." Roald Dahl

I'm not sure what that means but it's par for the course with their communication style. I think we're in good shape.

Great reflection! Thanks!

Sounds like neighbor became close friend. When Christ was asked, 'who really is my neighbor' he told a parable about a samaratin helping a stranger on the road.
