Today I got an email from a person whom I haven't spoken to in a few months. One that used to be a huge part of my family's life... but disappeared from it some time ago due to circumstances that could have been avoided, but simply weren't. Since that person has been absent, there has been a very noticable void in the space they used to occupy. Funny how just a few words can mend a wound that just a few moments before was still too deep to fix.
People grow up sometimes of their own accord and it just makes you very proud when you realize that you had a part in that journey. When in retrospect, the things that they attribute those good choices to were examples you set for them and advice that you offered.
Today, someone let me know that I helped to change them in a good way and that because I loved them enough to teach them the truth... they are becoming a better person. I can't help but feel good about that. I know that any credit I get should only be turned over to God because in times of influence.. I don't have the correct words, but He always does.... but i'd like to think that I played just a tiny role in assisting God's will in this person's life.
Their journey is just beginning... but hopefully they will keep taking baby steps in the right direction with a few friendly "nudges" from those that care.
Gotta love it when you witness the little things that matter most.
