In our world of fast food, fast cars, and fast productivity, many of us have lost the art of making friends and substantial long lasting relationships. We no longer sit on porches and chat, or meet after church on Sunday with a bunch of other people to just hang out. We live in a culture that no longer values friendships and relationships. We live in a culture that is more and more isolated and alone.
We need people to be emotionally heathly. Human interaction, human touch, human laughter is important to our soul. We need affirmation and counsel, encouragement and comfort. We need friends, family and loved ones to be there when we succeed at something and to be there to help us pick up the pieces when we fail. We were not created, nor are we meant to live life isolated and alone.
Recently I had a very hard thing happen in my life. In March I proposed to a woman who I had loved for 9 years. She said yes! I was elated. However a month later she broke it off because I live in a very rural place not filled with malls and the busyness of life, and because my income was not up to her standard. I am not poor, I have a nice place and have an average middle class income, but it was not what she was looking for. Needless to say, I was heartbroken. If it wasn't for the people around me, it would have been 100x tougher. I can't say enough how much the willing ears, the prayers, and the support of my family, my friends and the people who attend the church I pastor meant to me.
I have found over the years that many people have either lost the ability to make friends or never knew how and would really like to have people in their lives but they are too self conscious or too afraid to give it a whirl. I have 2 articles to help people make that first step. These articles encourage and teach you some basic things about having people in your life and how to encourage people to be in your life.
Are you tired of being isolated and alone? Tired of having to carry the load all by yourself? Then come on over to my place and have a cup of mud with me and let's talk of how you can have good people in your life!
