Love and friendship
Every time I walk to work I read the signs I pass on the way. Two of them have some graffiti on them that make me smile. The first one I pass just says "Love ^.^" the other one I pass tells me to "Love more ^.^" I don't agree with all sorts of graffiti but I truly think this one has a point. If this world would be filled with love we would be so much closer to happiness. I was shown love and care yesterday where I wasn't expecting it and because of that I started to see that God is in everyone in some way. I was at work and got upset over something really stupid, but nevertheless I was upset. This person was about to head home but he stayed to see what was wrong as I sat there eating my tea on my break. When I told him he offered me a hug and told me not to let that place get to me. That for me looks like Christian love. It is caring action towards people who need it whether you know them well or not.
Someone once told me that a person needs 12 hugs a day to be completely happy. I don't know if it's true or not but I like to think that it is. Showing someone you care for them with a hug doesn't really take any effort but it makes at least me feel special when a friend hugs me. It makes me happy when I see other people hug as well. Maybe I'm just obsessed with hugs but I think they are special.
Being friendly and loving towards a stranger is one hard thing to do. As I work in a place where you see many people I have had to work on this ability. I am far from being loving towards people at all times but with God's help I hope to get there some day. When I see someone on a street I always smile and I have noticed that even though they look sad when they come towards me they still smile back and hopefully will keep on smiling. There is a song by Newton Faulkner which says "People should smile more, I'm not saying there's nothing to cry for..." I agree with him on that. Every person has reasons to cry but there are always reasons to smile as well and that is what I try to focus on even though there are so many times I fail.
If there was more love and friendship in the world the world would be a happier place. I have seen so many friendships break over some silly thing that was said or done and I wish they didn't and I think if we founded all our relationships with people on trying to make them happy so you can be happy with and for them instead of trying to make them feel happy so you can get something from the relationship. It is easy to say but very hard to do and I will do my best to do it.
I have noticed that the less you have the more you start appreciating what you have. I have a lot to appreciate. I have God who is love, a fiancee who tells me and shows me how much he loves me as well as he can and friends who care. I also have a home and a job that helps me get the money I need to live. I thank the Lord for all the great people and things I have in my life. And I thank you for reading.
God bless,
