You’re at a social gathering mingling and talking with friends and acquaintances when all of a sudden there is a murmur across the room, and everyone starts looking towards the entrance. As you turn your head, you see what all the commotion is about; it’s one of your friends, the charismatic one who never meets a stranger and probably knows the entire population of the city you live in.
There is a man like this in my circle of friends. In fact, I’m fortunate enough to call him one of my best friends. This man truly is the life of the party, and it doesn’t matter what age a person is, they are all drawn to Faron Kelly. I often watch Faron in these situations, and he always has a smile on his face, and a kind word no matter how busy he is.
I’m amazed by my friend, I say amazed because he has a gift and ability which seems to be a foreign concept to me; he really does love all people, and not just people who can do something for him. You will see him dancing, hugging and just being the same friendly guy with every person he meets. I’m serious when I say it amazes me.
I met Faron twenty some years ago at the church I attend, and right away knew this was a guy I needed to get to know. It seemed he was always happy, laughing and so alive. I don’t know about you, but when you see someone living life fully like this, it makes you want the same thing; at least it did for me. And I knew if I had any chance of living like this, then I needed to spend some time with him.
I consider myself blessed because this man is part of my life and journey. There have been times when I didn’t know how I would have continued on and he said just what I needed to hear, or all the times I was doubled over in laughter because of something he said or did. I could go on for days and days telling you about all of the things Faron has done in the time I’ve known him, but let me end by saying this. If everyone in the world acted like Faron Kelly, I guarantee there would no more wars, poverty or hurting people, not to mention life would just be a hoot!
Now you know what I think, what do you think?
