God has given me people in my life to love. To take care of and to be a sister. Some more then others.
When they tell me their life story, broken and dis-functional or a combanation of all sorts, I am at a loss of what to say. I want to make things all better. I want to hug them and tell them it's all going to be okay.
I know God feels the same way.
I know that I can be a sister and a friend to the people God puts in my life. But what do you say to a friend that has a mother in rehab, a father who is with another woman and they are living with their grandparents that are always trying to bring them down? What do you say to a friend that found her fiance cheating on her and then gets in a car accident a few weeks later?
I don't know what to say or if I should say anything at all.
God keeps on telling me, "Just love them".
One of my friends posted this on face-book a few days ago. I found it today while checking my mail.
1 Corithians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
About Me
- The Findings
- I am a girl. A girl in a very large family to most, but to me, just the right size. There are nine of us kids with two parents that love each other. No, we are not Mormons and no, my parents have never been separated. In the midst of all the family, friends, love and chaos, I am finding myself. It's a funny concept to go around finding yourself, seeing as you have always been with yourself and have never lost yourself, so there would be no need of the finding. But the finding for me, deep in my heart, is more of a building up of what was all ready there. Kind of like pulling away weeds and flowers to reveal the cornerstone of a beautiful house. I take pictures and write because sometimes I just can't say what I mean to say because I can't find the words to say it. I often say funny things to convey what I mean. Sometimes it even works. Other times I take pictures just to remember things that happened or write things just because I'm bored. Even in these every day things that I might take for granted I find bits and peaces of myself. So I am a finder, I am daughter, granddaughter, aunt, cousin, friend, and sister. I am a girl and this is my blog.
