Relationships

Relationships are a big thing because we are a relational type of people. Just take a quick look at your Facebook news feed - there is a fascination when someone proclaims that they are in a relationship or when their status changes to "single". Comments pour in of congratulations or sympathy...

But what is beyond establishing a relationship? How does one get to know another person?

I came across a nugget today while reading. When describing his relationship with a person that is suppose to be a close friend, he compared it to another one saying,

"Your father got along just fine didn't he? He did what was right and treated people fairly, and things went well with him. He stuck up for the down and out and things went well... Isn't this what it means to know me?"

Could this be the missing link to many failed relationships? They say opposites attract - that can be true. But to further a relationship and to go deeper is the key to understand the other person's character by living it out?


Our friends who share the love of food, amongst other things =D

  1. Josh, you look like you're about to pounce in the pic. What did you see?

  2. lol - I think I was overly trying to be ready for the picture. The pic was taken on the Cabot Trail on the Skyline nature walk. Very beautiful place (and very windy).

    I think on the trail we saw some moose far in the distance (but that wasn't what I saw to pounce on - I think we would be running away in fear. Those guys are aggressive!).

  3. Josh, haven't visited your blog for a long while! :) The picture brings back so many good memories! :)
    Btw, I can't seem to find the dates of your posts. Somehow, I find myself a bit lost in reading the posts without dates......
