There is a reason and a season for every relationship. Isn't there a saying like that or something? Relationship....it's something that seems to continuously change and it's something I tend to write, or at least, think about very frequently. If you remember one of my beliefs and goals is to try to increase community and to treat all others with empathy. Yet today I am reminded of how quickly relationship can form and how quickly it can be broken. I can't give too many details but yesterday a sad event happened at work, which potentially severed a newly formed relationship. You might be thinking that a week isn't a very long time to have impacted someone, but I think it can be based on the circumstances. However I also feel that one is able to truly impact another just throughout a five second interaction. How frequently does the word, touch, or facial expression of another change our own demeanor?
I often think of those individuals in my life that I have had as friends or family. Somehow relationally, my memory remains vivid and I can recall the faces and most of the names of those by which I have been impacted over the years. I have a hard time letting go of friendships that have remained stable and strong for many years, but it is something that I am slowly coming to terms with-because as stated above I have to remember that there really is a reason and a season for everything. I just hope that I positively impact the majority of those that I interact with on a daily or even yearly basis. May you all be blessed with wonderful relationships!
