Can We Do This?

"Listen!"

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about 2 hours ago 1 min read

“There are only four words

that mean so much more

than ‘I love you’,

and those words are

‘I’m here for you’.”

How many of us

need to hear these words:

“I’m here for you” ?

They mean more than any gift

because for someone to be there for us

is a ‘gift’ in itself.

When a loved one or even a friend

says these words,

it shows a real depth of emotional support,

which is something that every one of us needs.

For a person

to make the time,

to sit down

and quietly listen,

without judging,

and be willing to help,

shows a real understanding

and

a ‘wanting’

to help someone we care about.

This reflects a commitment,

a willingness,

to be available when needed.

When you and I

receive this kind of help and kindness,

we completely de-stress

because we know we are not alone.

Can we do the same

for those we love?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
