How do you carry on ?








I had discussed in my last post a family we all were praying for day and night. That sweet family lost there little girl last afternoon. I can't wrap my mind nor thoughts around this very question ? How do you walk away and carry on ? You never walk away no matter what , you Physically may not be able to bring that child home for what ever God reason that is ,
but you have to find a way to be at ease that your sweet baby is with Jesus and safe and sound. I know easy for me to say , I have not lost a child, this is correct but it is not easy to grieve , it is not easy to watch a family cry and break down , Friends of friends break down , none of this is ever easy . God made the call, He was the almighty Doctor and said that it is her time to come . I to be honest rather see her here with out pain of course but then again I'm happy to know that she is with the Father and painless laughing , running and smiling at us from above . God the Father knows when it is time , he knows and See's everything that is happening beyond our measures.

Second question :How do you carry on? Well again this can not be easy , It is one day , one second , at a time . This will be a long road to walk down, this is going to be hard for this sweet family but God will guide them and give them the strength to get by. With our amazing Church and the many amazing friends that they have lined up by there side , This will be difficult but we all will help out any way we all possibly can .

Keep this family and there next steps in your mind and say a prayer for the family . Pray for that wisdom and strength that they need now to make the most difficult decisions they never thought they would do this soon. Saying , good bye to there baby girl , but lets not say goodbye let's say till we meet again .

This whole process has hit me hard , I am a caring friend and is there till the end .But the word Death , um that is a subject that no one masters in school or college ever, the after , the what is next factor, and if you say hey it is no big deal , sorry you are not human ,This is a big deal and a scary step to maneuver for anyone .

The one word that comes to mind is Friendship. this word is a VIP word , you are allowing someone in to you life , into you circle , into you domain. I googled this word and wanted to read the true meaning of the word , well this is what I found thousands of thousands of search engines going wild , with meanings , examples, and pictures.

Wikipedia said :


Friendship is co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.
Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:
the tendency to desire what is best for the other,
sympathy and empathy,
honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart,
mutual understanding.
In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles



Definition of Friendship


Friendship is a personal relationship shared between each friend for the welfare of other, in other words, it is the relationship of trust, faith and concern for each other feelings. It is a relationship of mutual caring and intimacy among one another. A friend is one who knows you as a person and regards you for what you are and not what he or she is looking in a good friend. Best friend is one who accepts the good as well bad qualities of his friend and also takes an initiative in correcting and mending them. Friendship is a distinctive kind of concern for your friend, it is a relationship of immense faith and love for each other.
Friendship is all about how much you care and understand each other. It is a pure relationship, which would make your friend smile, feel good as to how much you love him and care for him. It is all about talking, listening and building up a strong relationship loyalty among each other. It is string of love which develops gradually with each others involvement. In certain cases friendship may not last for a longer period and might end up or lose its prime importance of love and regard for each other. There are some friendships which might end with unresolved conflicts and tiffs which means that these type of relationship were not so strong that could hold on their own in adversity and bad times. Friendship is not about merry-making and fun it involves equal loyalty from both the partners.
It should be understood that not all friends are best friends. One might come across numerous number of friends in his life but there are very few who will be their during your ups and down. How one should recognize your best friend the one who will understand your strengths and shortcomings and would be with you in all your good and bad phases of life.
A true friendship does not consist of a huge number of friends you keep but it is valued by its worth and capability to hold you and stand by you in all phases of life.That said finding a best friend from among your friends is the hardest task to do.A lot of people say that the best friends automatically come closer from among a group of friends and you will never have to make an extra effort to do find one. That is how the strong bond between true friends is formed. So best of luck in finding or recognizing a true friend !

.


That should explain it all Amen .


I vaule each and every person that has come into my life.
