I would like to tell you a story today. There once was a little girl. She grew up in a home that wasn't perfect, but she was loved. She enjoyed a childhood full of bliss, church activities, and long summer days. When this little girl grew up, she went to college and loved it with all of her heart. However, when she moved out on her own and continued to go to church, people didn't sit by her anymore, and they didn't smile and wave when they saw her. This girl began to feel unwanted, and she became very sad. She fell away and didn't go any more. This girl felt like she had no friends, and she feels the same way today. She searches for happiness in her life by trying new things and buying new things, but all she REALLY news is the Lord and some loving people who can help her find Him.
I won't tell you who this story is about, but she is VERY close to my heart. As I spent my weekend with this amazing woman, I realized just how many people there are in the world who need friendship and love, and most of us TOTALLY overlook them. A smile and a wave can be more valuable than a million dollars to someone who is lost and searching for happiness. Lesson number one? God is ALWAYS there for us...even when no one else is. That is hard, I know. Really. Lesson number two? NEVER, EVER, let someone sit by themselves. Love everyone, and it will eventually come back to you.
