While riding a bus on my way to work, I suddenly remembered the message that was delivered by our pastor some time ago. The message title was "Happiness Borrows". In a nutshell, we can be happy even if we don't own things, that being borrowers we get to enjoy borrowed things without the burden of ownership.
This too as discussed is applicable in relationship. We get to borrow a person's time to be a parent, friend, brother/sister. While we have the privilege to enjoy these, we need to remember to do our share of being good stewards for the things that we borrow. We must try our best not to cause damage to the things, the people that we borrow in our lives. We also have to learn to part with what we borrowed, and that it is our responsibility to take care of whatever we have and borrowed so that the next borrower will have the chance to experience the same enjoyment that we had while we had them in our possession.
I reflected this message on my current relationships. I found how true this could be and that we should handle things most specially people with care. That whatever we do it will affect the things and the people that surrounds us, and that if it was us that was damaged, we have to learn to forgive and try to mend us so we can give happiness to our next borrower. :)
