TREASURE YOUR FRIENDS
Its a very fast world we are living in and in this era and generation a lot of us have no time for others, not even time to invest in other people. We are busy with our jobs, families, school as we take extra courses, church meetings name them.. these are all great things and worth investing in. But human beings cannot operate like robots, you got to have people around you who you care for and care for you.
Keep a list of friends that you need to check on often. Do not wait until you have a problem and you call them, ask God to help you to be in habit to cultivate friendships.
some ways I have found helpful in cultivating love for friends. I struggle lots in this but I trust God as well.
1. have people that you pray for now and then..
2. call to just say hi, people feel special when they are given some attention.
3.listen to them when they speak so you can have things to follow up on,, sick person, an issue which you can follow up later,
4.check on them on high moments ,, new baby etc
5.if they have a sick person plan to visit them and pray with them only if you do no.2 well.
6. just sit and have fun with some people.
7.have people who you can be vulnerable to and you feel safe and not judged but loved until they can rebuke you.
DO YOU HAVE SUCH PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE. this week I highlight a few from my trips this year.. Help me God to keep them true all the days ..my list is long
Yunia, Doreen, Chao, I celebrate you this month... in deed..
