Growing up, people would always say "You learn something new each day.". Well; I am learning that it is true. The word New, means "lately coming into knowledge, fresh or unused, unaccustomed, or recently/lately". So it doesn't necessarily mean that you have never before heard something but that it has now finally become knowledge. And the word Learn means “to gain by experience, to become informed of or acquainted with". So really the new thing I/we learn is just some fresh information. Or it can also be something that we are unaccustomed to that we gain by experience. I don't believe that when you hear something you learn it. You learn it once you can apply it physically or mentally. You learn it once you understand it. I also believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we come to realize things on certain days for a reason. So everyday I will be sharing with you the new thing that I learn or realize, hoping that you can learn from it as I did.

Feel free to comment or even post about your own realization or new thing that was learned.

Be that person

I was at small groups last night and once the lesson had finished we just sat around and talked about nothing and everything. We talked about movies we like our views on things and different situations we face in life and such. As we were talking and sharing who we were some with our leader I thought how crazy important it is to have someone in your life for you to just talk to, not to get advice or to be pitied by, but to just have a person who cares and will listen and laugh with you. Feeling how it does to have that person, and seeing how it affects to other people in the group made me realize that we need to be that person for other people. We don't have to be close to them, just when they want to talk, tell you about their day, something funny they hear, or a serious problem. We should be there to show them Gods love through the attentiveness we give to them showing how we care.
