A friend that is dieing of cancer started an event inviting all of his friends to join.
He is posting adventures and being out and about with his wife and kids.
He is also inviting friends and family on facebook to be part of these little last adventures.
Nothing that cost much. Most of it is just an investment of time.
Out of 40+ family members none have even joined the event.
Out of over 300 friends that he actually has known in his life 6 are following the event.
Are they all in denial or just do not care.
Another friend was pestered out of her mind to make a event page celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary.
They were even asked to open a gift account at the local bank to allow those who wished to contribute to a gift were able.
I guess she made it because I just found it today. She invited me to join it weeks ago.
So far there are 4 people out of 80 who have responded. Only one is family.
Her husband actually said why bother. No one came to our wedding.
They are the kind of people who love everyone and work in and around their community within all different groups and dynamics.
The kind of people who are always reaching out to others in their time of need but will be ignored because they appear so self reliant even if the whole community knows they are in need of help or support.
So I ask you.
How do you reach out to others and celebrate life with them?
Is it important to let others know they are loved?
Are we not to treat each other as we ourselves want to be treated?
Are we not to love each other as Christ has loved us?
How do you respond to events you are invited to join on facebook?
