Friendship Wealth

Friendship Wealth

As I reflect on my recent health challenges, I realize how truly wealthy I am. Some say a one's true wealth can be measured by how many friends he/she has. By this measure, I realize I am blessed.

I experienced a hospitalization of 5 days about 2 weeks ago. I had been feeling poorly for about a week before I was correctly diagnosed with multiple pulmonary embolli and thus the hospitalization. It was through this experience I realized how vital and important my friends are to me.

The day I was hospitalized my office mates rallied around me in worry and in tangible help. I needed to get some keys to my electronic lockbox in order to facilitate an important showing. First, Terri offered to help and I was too proud to accept. However, when I realized I was not capable of actually performing this task, Paul readily offered to help me. Jill, Jillian and Jess made phone calls and offered words of encouragement.

During my hospitalization I was visited by many friends including Glenn, Shannon, Denny, Bonnie, the entire Hurst family, Dan, Jay, Ruth, Jim, Nina, Dean, Craig and my pastors, Ron and Sue. These visits were appreciated and such a blessing that words cannot adequately express the meaning. I was encouraged and uplifted by this simple gesture. Thank-you.

I must mention how meaningful it was to have Dean when he was visiting me ask if I wanted anything from McDonald's. I asked for a cheese burger and a chocolate shake. Dean went across the street and bought me these items. I savored them and realized again how wealthy I was to have a friend like this.

I also received many cards, phone calls and words of encouragement. The flowering plant pictured above was a gift from the Gemeinschaft Sunday School class. Besides its beauty, it communicated love and friendship. I am grateful.

Take a moment this day and count your friends. Remember the blessing these friendship are for you and give thanks.

Memories of a tree

The picture of the weeping blossoming cherry tree symbolizes the changes I have experienced over the past 13 years. Recently I turned 49 and I began to reflect on my life and the changes I have experienced over these years.

This weeping blossoming cherry tree was given to my family and me as a gift by members of our Sunday School class. We were leaving one congregation in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania or more exactly, in Souderton, PA and moving to Lancaster County, PA to begin a pastorate in a Leola, PA congregation. The tree was about three feet tall and came with money attached to the small tree limbs. It was really a neat gift and we appreciated it.

In those thirteen years, our children have gone from teenagers and children to young adults. Our children are 26, 24 and 21 respectively. They have successfully navigated the teenage years and all but one have made it through college. They have become productive young adults and we are proud of them.

Also in those thirteen years, I have changed professions. I am now a full-time realtor. This change has been challenging, exhilirating and more taxing than I ever imagined. I did not realize how difficult this transition would be. I definitely know why so many stay in a job they no longer love. Inertia is hard to overcome.

You can see the tree has grown substantially over these past 13 years and has survived much snow, heat, rain and all that mother nature has thrown at her. As I observe this tree and reflect on these past 13 years, I am filled with gratitude. I do not want to change the past, but accept it for what it is. I do not know what the next 13 years will hold, but believe I will get out of life what I put into it.

Ficus Tree Musings

We recently moved our ficus tree to the spot it loves - our deck. Each year, as late in the fall as possible, we move this tree back inside for a long winter decline. The ficus tree does not like the inside of our house.

You will note how the tree has much barrenness. The vibrancy it once had late last year has diminished. As spring has come, I hope you are finding the reality of Easter, rebirth, resurrection, and renewal in your life.

I did some research on the ficus tree to see what I could learn about the care of it. I learned alot from this site. I realized that the tree does not get enough light during the winter and that watering it with tap water is not helpful. I also learned something I knew, but it was good to have it verified. Pruning the ficus tree is actually quite good for it.

As I write this post, I realize I must be committed to life long learning. It is good for me and for those I serve in real estate. One never possesses enough knowledge or skill. This is my commitment, "I will not stop learning."
