The changes in today’s world are happening at an alarming rate. The news seems to go from bad to worse. What to do? Stop looking at the news is a good start. There are a lot of things out of our control but there are things we can control.
We can control the books we read and the people we hang around with. We all go through seasons in our lives-some better than others but all offer us wisdom if we can learn from them.
I have had different people come into my life and then leave. Some were meant to be short term relationships and some lifetime relationships.
A mistake I have made is to not nourish those relationships with people that have contributed into my life. We all have challenges and sometimes we lose track of what is important and neglect those things that are really important.
Relationships are important and we need to take time for these. You need discernment in this area! There are some people that are leeches and take from you and do not contribute. Be quick to recognize these and flee.
There are people who pour into your life and they nourish your spirit and contribute to you in a lot of ways. These are the keepers. You also have something to contribute to others. You have life experience in some areas that can be of benefit to others who will need guidance and support at some point in their lives.
Over the coming days I will be discussing relationships and how they intertwine in our lives and how integral a part this plays as our lives unfold.

Jacques,
Relationship make us that much richer in many ways that money can never do.
Thank you for pointing out the difference between those that leach from us and those that are of value and feed our souls. The leach we need to run from as fast as we can, they only drag you down. The others uplift and help you along the road of life.
Thank you for the good post, we will keep looking for the next one to come along.
