145 - Meaningful conversation

'Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.' (Colossians 4:6)

Has it really been that long since I last posted? *sigh*...

When we talk to people, it can be so easy to talk about mundane, everyday stuff. Because the weather is easy to discuss. That's why it's one of the first things we talk to strangers about. (So British.)

That's why, when you find friends you can actually have meaningful conversation with, it's so refreshing. 

I'm not saying that talking about what you've done over the past week, or asking what someone else has done is shallow or something. Oh no. 

What I'm saying is the kind of talk where someone wants you to share how God's been awesome in your life recently...the kind of talk where a friend shares some new insight into a Bible verse...those conversations are special. Something to be thankful for. 

It's not always possible to have this type of conversation with everyone. So value the people you can have it with. Maybe work on having more of them. 

And thank God for them.
