Relationships

Last night at our 8th Grade Promotion Exercises, six students were selected to read essays that they had written about what was special during middle school years.

The students did a great job describing what their three years meant to them individually.

The theme throughout their speeches touched on relationships. The best part of their middle school years centered on friendships built with fellow classmates and relationships that they had built with teachers.

How true that is with the lives that we live. The relationships that we build help us focus on the most important aspect of life: building friendships with others.

Christ was a great example of this. Everywhere he went he looked for people. He was the ultimate “people person”. He met the needs of others.

I know I need to do a better job looking for those that are hurting on a daily basis.

It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness and forget about the needs of others.
