You've got to change your evil ways...

I was driving out to Holland NY today for business and the Santana song came on...You've got to change your evil ways baby...lallalla...So I began to think about my neighbors and then thought of this verse Proverbs 21:10, “The wicked man craves evil; his neighbor gets no mercy from him.” This is so true...our neighbors right next door are EVIL! And I don' think we will ever have mercy from them! I use to get all upset when I would see them....dwell on them...be evil like them toward them...evil looks...maybe saying something under my breathe so maybe they would hear me. Here is just a little history...everything was fine with our neighbor until he met his wife. She moved from her husband's house into his house with her 2 little boys...still married to husband...but living with the boyfriend...truck the little ones back and forth. I think I hurt mostly for them the boys...2 and 4..I can only imagine what was going through there little minds. The neighbor/boyfriend...moved his boys out of their room for her boys...very sad...so soon after he started to become evil...I guess when you live with the devil that is what happens. Long story short...last year Jeff and I were out back having a glass of wine on our patio...not sure how they knew that we were adopting...but she made a comment getting into the car with her 2 boys and now her 2nd husband...it goes as follows...I am not making this up..."all i know i could never love/raise someone elses baby!" I was in shock...she said it loud enough for us to hear...Jeff and I looked at each other like deer in the head lites...I got up and went into the house and cried like a baby...If she only knew how hard we have been trying for a family...I cried and cried...I called my mom...walked down the street to a friends house and cried there too. They both said to me..."SHE IS EVIL what do you expect from her" I guess that was the first time my feeling were hurt about adoption...well...that is not true...having an adopted bi-racial brother was not easy in the 1970 or 1980's...our feelings were hurt many times...but she was talking about MY baby...the one we long for...MY BABY! So now that I am closer to the lord and I have him in my life, closer then ever before...I pray for her...she needs someone to pray for her...so if you would like to add someone to your list...please pray for my neighbor...so she changes her evil ways. Hugs and blessings.
