It is interesting the little things that may happen that give joy to the heart as you go through life. This happened to me the other day when I was preaching at a church. It had been a wonderful morning and all had gone well. And at first it seemed that there was no one who was willing to invite me home but then a young couple made the offer and took me home to be with them for lunch. Being the age that I was I could not help but wonder as to how it would go. But as we got into the time of chatting with each other I would discover that we had a lot in common. The first being that the young lady grew up down in an area that I knew well and that through the church connections in that particular area there were a lot of people that we all knew. Through all of this we found that we had a lot in common and the time shared together became very special to us all.
It make me stop and think a bit as I headed of home. All too often we think that we have nothing to share. All too often we may think that we have nothing to say that can have a positive affect upon another. But how wrong we all can be. By being willing to take me to their home we all together discovered new items of interest and in the process came to appreciate each other all the more.
So a lesson for us all to consider. When was the last time that you were willing to share with another person? When was the last time that you were willing to allow someone into your life and to know them just that little bit better? If we were all willing to do something that simple the world would be a much better place and we would all get along so much better. But would you be willing to give it a try?
Something to consider for this day….Until next time have a good week.
