(sorry I haven’t updated the blog recently, things get blocked on this end sometimes)
The other day we were invited to a have dinner with a friend. This mother has become a good friend to the family. As we entered her house we found a small table with various foods laid out on it. As I look around I noticed there was no furniture in the room. Not even a plant. The only thing there was a TV on a stand in the corner. Another room the kids went to play in was completely empty. And then it struck me…Here is a friend who went out of her way to bless us at a tremendous cost personally. She could have spent her money on other things besides us, but chose a meal over things.
As we ate the food and shared our lives I was reminded of what really is important in life. It’s not our surroundings, but the relationships we develop over the years with others. The person with so little is just as valuable and important as the one who has much.
Take the time to give thanks for those in your life. And the next time you share a meal with another remember that it is more than food that you share. GB
