We spend our days with family and friends and there are moments we deal with petty issues and major ones. They become our focus ~ slow us down. We forget how precious the person is ~ the relationship. WE do our best to love one another, guide hearts along safe paths ~ sometimes we need to take time to just be. Being together and getting to know the people we call family. Often if we could take a step back ~ stop pushing down our true feelings we might see we really do love and care but just not sure how to help our loved ones. Sometimes just being there ~ listening ~ is all people need.
It is not easy though always listening to someone talk about their problems and not even look for a solution. I find it wearisome. I pray...and try to stay UP.
