The Bench


About 7 years ago, I was a lonely stay-at-home mom with a 1 1/2 year
old. Then I did something that had an unexpected result. I moved my
park bench from up by my front door to out under the tree in my front
yard. Little by little over the next few months, something incredible
started to happen. People gathered. They came out of their houses.
They talked to each other. Real relationships formed. We're true
friends. Our kids are friends. We eat together. We've spent holidays
together. We even vacation together sometimes. We've got fridge
rights. It's awesome. Seven families now have a place at that bench.
How great is that?!
