We met our new neighbors while on a walk. They invited us to join them for a beer. This would have been a good chance to spend more time with them, to get to listen to their lives, but I had a lot to do. I chose to stay at home and work. The rest of the family went.
Sometimes the most important decisions are embedded in seemingly unimportant choices. I made a selfish choice and one that I regret. How else do we get involved in other people’s lives and get the opportunity to love another person, unless we spend time with people? Noble ideas don’t work outside of relationships. If you won’t spend time with people, you can’t say you love them.
