Small and Simple Things

I realized today it is the small and simple things that bring people together. Today, I ate breakfast with my roomates altogether, which never happens. I felt so united and "family" like with them. Lately at devotionals and my classes, we have been talking about how the small and simple things bring families together. Eating together, spending time together, praying together. I have started trying to do those things within my apartment, and i have noticed a difference. When we pray as a apartment, we get along much better. When we talk about our days, talk about our frustrations, funny moments in our days, or whatever we want, it bring us much closer. When we talk and spend time together, the differences become small and we are able to relate to each other. I love the feeling when people who are very different find something to love about the other person. I have learned to do this with my roomates. We are not all perfect, and we make mistakes, we judge each other, but once we talk about things and realize that we are all human, we are able to relate to each other. I just have learned throughout the years to not judge as much. I can look back at the past, and recognize i probably didn't take the best approach in the situation. I have learned that when you start judging someone, instead of looking at a negative quality, try to find a positive quality and realize that you are not perfect yourself.
