Making the most of the time we’ve got.

I wanted to write a post today that is kind of reflecting a rather serious one I read a couple of days ago, what would you do if you had a short time to live , but about friendships in general. I began to think about what our time actually means to us HERE on this earth, and how we spend it developing ourselves and our relationships.I recently had an opportunity to go camping with a two of my best friends. One of them lives in Huntsville, as do I–while the other one lives in Florence, AL.

We rarley get to spend as much time with each other because of work schedules, but It always ends up being memorable when we officially get to hang out. Both nights ended around a campfire, nostalgically reminiscing about good times. It’s funny how you meet your best friends, looking back. People who seemed to be coincidental aquaintences in the beginning, turn out to be some of the greatest gifts God has ever given you. And while these two are not my only best friends (i’ve got quite a few),I don’t know how I’d live without these two.

When you feel like your days are spent in the service of other people’s requirements, then you should always be able to look to your friends to JUST BE YOURSELF.  I know alot of my time is spent in the service of people who want to shape me; molding me into something that THEY want from me, or taking some resource from me to attend to their personal or professional needs. Isn’t it nice to have an entourage of people who give to you; accept and love you for who you are, and what YOU want to become?

Our time here is temporary. In fact, our TIME = our LIFE. Soon, our time will run out. We will expire, and so will our chances to form long-lasting bonds and healthy relationships with people. While every worldy device our society clings to will pass away, the people we meet on this earth help shape our personality and very importantly, our perspective.

Have you made room for the people in your life that matter to you?
