Cocoa and Cold Weather

As the weather cools, it becomes harder to connect with our neighbors on a regular basis because we all begin to stay indoors. Last weekend went by, the parks were empty, and no one knocked on the door; it was unsettlingly quiet. Late Sunday afternoon, Caleb and I went on a brief walk and ended up connecting with 10 neighborhood kids who then walked with us back home to have hot chocolate and dessert while playing Catch Phrase outside.

These interactions are critical in our interpersonal relationship building. Pray that we have wisdom in knowing how to effectively build relationships throughout these cold months where the typical activities of playing basketball and hanging at the park are undesirable.
