Friends.

As you well know, my brother has been going through some difficulties in his life. This past weekend, I was so encouraged by his group of friends. It was about 1am and his friends had circled around him outside in the cold to talk to him and to let him know that they're there when he needs them. It was so refreshing to see these guys do this kind of act. It's because they're his friends and that's what friends do. They don't do it everyday, but they've proven that when/if you're facing difficulties, they're the kind of friends that would be there. That's it! It was their presence, their care, their love that was in the air, but no one actually said, "I love you." but that was okay! I think we can all learn from this ... including myself. Sometimes, I wish I had friends like that but the question is ... am I being that kind of friend?

Definitely a good wake up call for me as all I saw in this world was me and Jesus. I forget that people exist and people have feelings and people need other people ... people like friends. :)
