today is the 1st yr...1 yr passed so quickly and we are standing at a threshold of a new beginning..though the old has not really end yet...i wonder..what can we really do for our friends?to what extent are we going to show care and concern and brotherly love?do we go beyond the jokes, the laughter...the play times..the times where we play in he rain..walk together under the stars?do we even reach the stage of crying together?feeling for one another?being there when it really hurts?i wonder...what happens if two good friends like or love the same person?would it be cowardly if we just take a step back for the other?would we rather our friends smile?what would we do?would we be the shoulder soaked with the tears of our friends?or would we be just people of the same hobby..likings but not of the same heartbeat?even if pass the physical and emotional stage of friends....would we be stumbling blocks in our friends' spiritual growth?will we encourage them with the Word?do we pray for them?do we segregate people form ourselves?do we try our best to bring them into service?or maybe even salvation?how deep is the desire to have an everlasting friendship with them?maybe the meaning of friends have long grew insignificant and its worth diffused by many other tangible and ephemeral objects...the take on friendship is now seen as a social want than need..true friends are never awkward in silence.where is the world heading to if a human can no longer relate to another human...of the same kind...what more talk about relating with an all powerful God?
