So, I've been doing some thinking.
Do you ever ponder how some people who were so important to you at one time, are no longer apart of your life? You shared seasons of life and growth with them and now, all that's left are memories.
It somehow led me to the thought of divorce. My old boss is in the middle of a terrible divorce. He had been married for 8 years and now fighting for his kids. I'm just wrapping my head around the fact that, say for example, you have been married to someone for that long and then one morning, there is nothing left. You carry Around all these memories and experiences with this person, but they are no longer with you.
Even friendships. I remember back in college, I had about two really good "best" friends. I understand that as time goes on, you move on and grow with a family of your own, but, now I hardly ever even talk to them.
Do you believe that the Lord puts certain individuals in your life for a time being with a purpose?
It has really encouraged me to strive to become more like Christ with whomever I meet. If we are only to be in someone's life for a season, I want to be a blessing to them. I want to motivate and strengthen them in their faith.
