GIVE ON PURPOSE
Something about face to face that cultivate deep friendships and close relationships. Letters are great. Calls are thoughtful. Face to face is giving and receiving time and heart and presence. It really is a great present, a gift that says more than anything else. . . giving yourself, your time, your efforts, your willingness to set everything else aside and learn to focus on your friend, your family, your relationship with God. I am realizing more and more, if I do not deliberately decide or intentionally make up my mind to do one thing or another in regards to another person (especially if it is important to me) I just won't. And I'm not talking about brushing my hair or doing my laundry. Life goes on. People move on. Time is passing by. Opportunities are missed. What matters most to us? I will draw upon the ever living WORD OF GOD. Give and it shall be given unto you. That is pretty simple. Quite plain. As I do unto others, so it will be done unto me. Stay encouraged.
