Last night, I visited with members of a family that I didn't even know. I was on a church assignment and excited to go and make a visit that would hopefully uplift and edify. We talked about several things, which included life and into the eternities. This family is very child-like is every sense of the word. They were very simple people who were easy for me to love.
I was reminded of a great truth. No matter how different these people were from me, we shared a common thread. We are children of a Father in Heaven who loves us deeply. His love is hard to fully comprehend. I could feel that these good people were doing the best that they could, in life. I loved that approach a great deal.
It is imperative that we learn as much as we possibly can. We all have gifts and abilities to learn in different ways. The knowledge that we gain will help us through this journey of life. It's a great one, too!
I love to go to people's homes and learn more about them. There is something to be said about conversing with someone in their own familiar surroundings.
At the end of the evening, I was uplifted and strengthened by the opportunity I had to learn from these fine people.
I consider it a choice blessing to get to know and associate with people I've never met before. I look forward to future opportunities to do this again. Every individual is important!
