Here is a story sent in from ...

Elizabeth, 20, New York, United States

So, you asked for stories. Or something. And I'm not sure this applies, but it made me happy and made me feel loved, so here's what we did:

Tonight a bunch of us went out to the middle of nowhere and had a fire. We were all without realizing it crowding around this one guy who was sorta feeling down and one of the other guys suggested we go around the circle and all say something nice about the guy in the middle to try to cheer him up. Then everyone took turns standing in the middle with everyone saying things they like about the person. It was really weird cuz in this group of friends most of our "compliments" to each other come in the form of insults. So it was interesting to hear people express deep and insightful feelings of love towards one another, right to their face. I learned all these things that my friends love me for that I never realized were important, and it was really cool to be able to tell my friends how much I love them without feeling awkward at all. It also made us think hard about what it is specifically we love about each other. Basically, it was one of the most wonderful experiences I'd ever had with a group of friends.

Later we sung Father Abraham and cracked up about how much it seemed like one of those youth group activities, except way more sincere, cuz we weren't being forced into it but we actually thought it up on our own.
