A Time for Everything

Indeed theres a time for everything....A time to plant and a time to sow, time to build up, a time to weep, a time to dance, a time to embrace, a time to refrain, a time to lose and a time to keep, a time to throw away, a time to be silent and a time to speak....hence its so important for us to know when to do what isn't? Sometimes its so hard to know but i believe that only through him who holds the key to knowledge and understanding by which we can be able to discern. So often we fail to understand a true heart of a person cause we don't communicate with them on a heart to heart level....i personally believe that there are about 4 levels of friends/communication....the lst level is those I call the "aquaintances".....we have many those in our daily lives, these are the people whom you may only see once in your life time and perhaps you'll never even remember them. The second level are those i call the "Hi and Bye friends"...these are those whom we have more contact with in our lives, it may be our school friends, collegues, business associates....most of the time we communicate with these people on very friendly and polite and business level. We tend to show only one side of ourselves to them. Among these friends there may be a few you'll be able to bring to the 3rd level where you'll reveal more about yourself. The 3rd level friends are those whom you love, trust and would be more willing to share with them more deeply on your thoughts, feelings and you know that you can trust that they'll listen with condemnation and giving appropriate advice if needed..they are those that would be with you through thick and thin and for many years....i would say i don't have too many 3rd level friends but among them there are many who have seen my ups and downs, tolerated all my nonsense..haha...we shared fun, sad, happy times...these are the friends that are always only a phone call away and I know they'll try their very best....Friends on the 4th level is of course much more difficult to get and it would only consists of maybe best friends, your spouse and as for me Jesus is on that level....you may think it strange that I put my friends in categories but i think it is a subconscious thing...i don't see someone and say "hey u are level one person" and shut myself up from them..haha...and many of my friends are also in between levels too!....haha.....we set boundaries for our friends too, to let ourselves and them know where we stand with one another and if fate permits these boundaries could be extended and relationships could be deepen and made stronger....
