Intentional Relationships

Relationships are so important.

If you measure the strength of a relationship on the amount of time you spend focused on it and the amount of intentional quality time into it, a few days a week just aren’t going to cut it, if it’s an important relationship.  Most important things take time to grow, or if neglected, takes time to slip if not careful. If your invested time shows what you love in life, then it really comes down to your priorities throughout the week. And believe me, there are a lot of unimportant things that can be focused on, too.

Do you ever get to the end of the day and it felt crazy busy, but you can’t pinpoint who you actually impacted that specific day? It happens too often when you don’t make leading others important. If you believe people are important, make it obvious that you really care about them. Go and leave a lasting impact.

So, who is that one person you positively impact the most right now and what steps do you take to make sure that happens?  You can leave a comment below.

    One of the youth I have met and worked with during our mission trips to the Czech Republic was here at my house visiting last week. We got to spend a lot of time talking and dreaming and sharing, and I got to speak life into him, since Czech can be a pretty discouraging place. I am taking steps to continue doing this even though he is back in Canada going to school (and will be back in Czech this summer). It’s difficult when they aren’t in your area, but still needed.

    Relationships are so important for everyone to have. I’m focusing on my son who just came home from the NICU and my wife. I’m bonding even more with him and the next 12 days while not working.
