Today, I gifted...my children's bikes and a basketball hoop to the family that takes care of the landscape where I am renting my home. They are very sweet and have joyful children. A neighbor called the police on them. The neighbor did not recognize them and was concerned they were stealing the items I had gifted them. I am so thankful I stayed home and was able to explain to the police. Fortunately, the officer asked if I spoke enough Spanish to explain the misunderstanding to the couple. So, in my broken Spanish, I explained to these dear people...why the neighbors were concerned. I apologized again after the police left. How I dream of a day when we no longer have to even think someone is "stealing" anything. How I dream of day when "we" no longer need or want to steal. How I dream of a day that police arrive only to help them load the bikes into the truck. Until then, I am grateful for the opportunity to give more than just bikes and a hoop today!
