Do you find yourself missing that person that used to to be essential in your life? For whatever reason, be it COVID, or conflict, you have a wounded relationship now?
There is more than one person that comes to mind when I reflect over this historically, nutty year and all the change it has brought.
In my opinion, more than ever before, we are all gathered to our own corners. To come out of our shell and reach out is limited. To be purposeful and intentional requires planning. An inconvenience or maybe even a foreign concept to some.
But, so what? We can do that. We have adapted to all the other hardballs thrown at us so far.
Maybe that person has just been waiting for you to text first. Maybe that person is having a harder time right now. You do not ever really know the battles that others face daily unless you are encouraging them along side in their battle. So, be the one. Reach out. Cards, texts, voice mails…these are all good ground breakers. Then plan a call, maybe a “masked” visit. Whatever way you can engage (safely of course), the benefit of the mending will certainly outweigh the heavy heart you have carried for so long.
Go on now, get to it.
