Don’t Leave So Soon

Am I really THAT strange? Don’t answer that too quickly!

When I’m in good company with people that I love (not talking about a crowd), like with my family, my church family or with good friends, I never wanna leave.

I often observe people that just can’t seem to wait to leave whatever environment they happen to find themselves. They seem to impatiently, always be ready to move on to the next environment and never find contentment and joy in just “being” in the current environment.

I’m not talking about making someone late for their next appt. I’m talking about the person who seems annoyed that their phone scrolling on the couch is delayed by a good conversation they’re not a part of. It’s annoying to have a good conversation interrupted by another who just can’t wait to leave.

Or maybe they just don’t find the company as enjoyable or lovable as I do. Or maybe it’s me that’s not enjoyable or lovable.

Live in harmony with one another. ~ Romans 12:16a
