Treasure Every Moment God Gives You

There were these two swimmers  (Justin and Lawrence) who had been swimming for many years . However, they always swam alone in the shallow end of the pool. They probably logged in 20 hours a week at the pool. One day both swimmers were sitting poolside and began talking. They realized that they had a lot in common and enjoyed talking. So , they decided to meet at the pool the next day and do something different. The two men met at the deep end of the pool and dove in. They figured that they hung out at the pool enough over the past few years to take this plunge together. Besides, if something happened they could save each other from drowning. 

Their first deep water experience was amazing! Both had been so accustomed to swimming alone that they'd never considered the beauty of having someone to share the experience with. The two continued meeting everyday for a year building a strong friendship and comradery. The meeting was automatic and so was the fun,  The swimmers never thought twice about time or the fact that they were swimming in the deep waters something they'd feared doing alone for years. The two men found that the shared experience rejuvenated them, and gave them a zest for life. There worlds were suddenly enhanced by the addition of the other. 

But one day something unexpected happened, Lawrence had a family emergency. For weeks, the two would not be able to meet while Lawrence tended to his family matters. Justin missed his friend tremendously. He offered his support but there was nothing he could do. As the days went by and the distance between them grew, their lives, although still busy seem to miss something. They missed each other but of course, they couldn't dwell on that when they had more serious matters to tend to. Those days that were so joyous before were mere memories. Great memories, memories all the same.

The story of Justin and Lawrence is a reminder to treasure the moments that God gives you with those He sends your way. Love them, learn from them and leave them alone when they need space. Enjoy and be thankful for your time with these precious life changing angels. Uphold them in prayer and pray that God graces you with such great times in your future. But never ever take your time spent in the presence of an angel for granted.
