  Express love

Not long ago I answered a telephone call from an old friend. He didn’t phone me for a long time.

“Hi, Steve,” he said.” I just want to see how you’re getting along.”

For whatever reason, our paths had simply not cleaned for months. It was good to talk with him. I wondered why we hadn’t kept in touch better.

Toward the end of the talk, 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, as they so often did. I needed those words of encouragement. I hung up the phone with my chest filled with a felling of warmth.

And that day I relearned something important about life: Life is primarily about people –not plans and programs, not to-do lists and a million takes left undone –it’s about people.

To love and to know that we are love is the greatest happiness in life. But happiness to be something that is in short supply for too many of us! My friend reminds me that it is never enough just to love; we must also express it. What good are our friendly feelings toward others if we don’t find ways to let them know?

Do not keep the box of your love and friendship locked up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak cheering words while their cars can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier. The kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go.

Happiness may be just a phone call away.
