This is actually something that God has challenged me with in the last year. When my sister died a little over a year ago - that was one of those Kairos moments when I felt like God was telling me to build relationships like you are talking about (relationships that count for eternity). When Veronica died - the church was filled with students and adults that she had those kind of relationships with. Many shared in the funeral service of the eternal impact she had on their life. I guess I was challenged at that time to look ahead to when I die - kind of depressing I know. Anyways, who will be there to say that I've made an eternal impact on their life? Those are the kind of relationships that I want to build as well. Here is where it is easy to fail though - this is one of those things that you need accountability for - actually putting that process into action. It is easy to say that you want to build those type of relationships, but to actually do it is where it is hard. It takes time to build those relationships. My sister was great at involving others in the day to day aspects of her life - just sharing life with them. I think that is where those connections begin to happen. These are great thoughts Tim.
