So yesterday me and my fam went to dinner at Chick-fil-a with another youth pastor and his family. It's always good to be with people you like to hang out with especially when the only agenda or objective is to just hang out. It's amazing that the simplest things in life can add so much to a relationship. All we did was go to dinner and let our kids play at the mall. It didn't cost much just dinner and some time.
Everyone needs an outlet where they can just hang. It's in those times that friendships and relationships are formed. I had a friend whose dad was really sick in the hospital. He was there for eight hours while the doctors tried to stabilize his father. One of the pastor's at his church that had mentored him came to the hospital as soon as he found out and just sat in the waiting room with him the entire time not saying a word...just sitting there. My friends father did not make it, but he later told me that what his pastor did meant more than anything anyone ever did for him. Sometimes just hanging out can make the most impact in a relationship.
Keep it real!
