"The Litmus Test: If you are truly enriching someone's life, they will typically miss you in their past. They think their lives would have been even better if they had met you earlier." Rajesh Setty.
Isn't it true? How many times have we often thought, "Gosh, I wish I'd known them when I was younger. We would have done some major damage!" I know I do. I often appreciate perspective someone has given me over the years on subjects and I think I wish I'd known them and their wisdom earlier. I'm ever so grateful to have them in my life now, but feel like I with the ride had started earlier.
At Christmas, I often think of those who have enriched my life and those I hope to have enriched.
I have friends from so many areas of the country, so many ages, backgrounds, perspectives. What a rich tapestry my friends have woven for me. What interesting perspective I've gained from them.
Perhaps the world is a little safer because I didn't meet some of these friends earlier. We may have caused havoc....but..it is fun just to think about it!
To all our friends and family who have so enriched our lives and given us perspective and support, we love you . I hope we've given just a small amount back of all that you have given us.
Merry Christmas and love in Christ!
