Because I knew you

This past Friday, I went to my freshman BYU YSA ward reunion. I really enjoyed seeing familiar faces that I hadn't seen in years and catching up with what has been going on in everyone's life as well.

The reunion caused me to stop and think about the people that we find in our life. One of my favorite quotes is:


I love the beauty of that. I love the thought that every person that we meet and become acquaintances with, become friends with, or fall in love with is there in our life for a reason. Friend or family. Heavenly Father is so aware of every single one of His children. He knows who needs who. Looking back on my life, I can definitely see the truth of this statement. People have hurt me. People have loved me. People have helped me. Every single person, whether they have continued to be my friend or not, has become apart of my story. I am who I am today because of the relationships I have now and have had in the past.

With this in mind, going forward one goal I have is to make the most of each relationship I have. Tell the people in my life already how much I appreciate and love them. Take the time to make new friends with those I met in various circumstances. Because you never know going into a relationship what you're going to get out of it. But there is always something to be taken out of it. You live and you learn, along with everyone else in your life.
