This summer has been one for a lot of reflection; some good and others bad. Everyone has their own obstacles to overcome and I'm no stranger to this. This has been a summer full of people coming and going. Some have caused me tears and frustration while others have been a breath of fresh air and nourishing to my soul.
To borrow a saying from Tyler Perry's movie/play "Madea Goes To Jail" people are like trees. Some people are like leaves, the wind blows they're over here and then the wind blows again and they're over there. At the end of the season they wither up and go away. Some people are like the branches, they may appear to be strong but once you go out there with them they break and you're left hanging or falling. But other people they're the trunk and the roots. They're grounded; they're looking out for you and your best interest. When something doesn't go so well between the two of you they at least find a way to say sorry. Not many people will be like the trunk or the roots. That's okay…people are who people are and you can't change that. But all you need are a few good roots and you can survive pretty much anything.
May we all find the roots we need to keep us grounded, nourished and cared for. Remember that some people are only in our lives for a season and that's okay. They may get us through a small portion of life and then they've served their purpose. Help us all not be hurt in their departure and to find the positives while they were in our lives.
