A
Not long ago, I answered a telephone call from an old friend who I’d not heard from for a long time.
“Hi, my good friend,” said the voice on the end. “I just wanted to see how you’re getting along.”
At the end of the conversation, he said, “If you need me in any way, I’ll be happy to help out.” And he meant it! That call came at just the right time. I needed those words of encouragement. I hung up the phone and felt very warm in my heart.
And that day I relearned something important about life: Life is first about people, not plans, not to-do lists and a million tasks left undone—it’s about people.
To love and to know that we are loved is the greatest happiness. And happiness seems to be something that is in short supply for too many of us! My friend reminded me that it is never enough just to love; we must also express it.
George William Childs put it like this: “Do not keep the box of your love and friendship closed up until your friends are gone. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be made happier.”
Happiness may be just a phone call.
