What's important..

I want what's important to other people to be important to me.

Without bending my beliefs and my core values, I want what's important to my friends and acquaintances to be important to my life. 

I want their hardships to be things I can hold their hand in.

I want their joys to be times I laugh and jump up and down.

I want to be supportive of their new ventures, I want to be open to listening while they explore the world around them. 

I want to know when they need prayer more than others, and I want to have them lean on me in silence when they just need someone's presence and a box of tissues.
