Just Breakfast

I was having breakfast with my friend Rob this morning.  I listened intently about what's been going on in his life lately.  He listened just as intently to what's been happening with me.  Because we have much the same values (faith, family, etc.), we very naturally go beyond empathy to exhortation at times.  Just a reminder to be that person for your friends and family.  Rather than living our lives "asleep at the wheel," let us engage with the people we care about, and maybe even with people we don't know or don't know well.  Let us, like our Father, be AWARE and ACTIVE as we journey through this life.
