Life is a funny thing. We are born, we live and we die. The time we spend here on earth is so short and we worry so much about things that dont really matter in the eternal perspective. I cant imagine a better way to spend a relaxing day than with the people around me, exploring the historic city of Edinburgh.
The time spent with these wonderful people in Edinburgh was amazing as we explored the city, took in the sights, and enjoyed the culture.
There are all kinds of people alive today who love to be around others and share life. It can be pretty boring to have no one around to share time with, so encourage others and be thankful for the great friends and family you have had and have right now, no matter how unique (or crazy) they seem to be.
As simple as it seems we need others to share in our struggles, fear, accomplishments, love, pain, and joy. There is always a need for a good friend to stop and listen, to share time with, and to create lasting memories with. So today, and every day, be a friend to someone in need, it may be someone you never talked to. Stop and spend time with them. It could change their life, or better, yours!
A word of wisdom to end:
I observed yet another example of something meaningless under the sun. This is the case of a man who is all alone, without a child or a brother, yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can. But then he asks himself, “Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?” It is all so meaningless and depressing. Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:7-12 NLT)
