Community

Saturday, I helped Gene and Abby move to their new house! It was a lot of fun. We had 2 trucks, 4 SUVs and 2 trailers to move their stuff. There were about 15 of us throughout the day. It was a great time, and we got a lot accomplished.

Then I got to thinking: This is what community is. People come together for a cause to make a difference. Gene and Abby needed help moving. And people came. I would do it again. Why? Because I know they would do the same thing for me. I know they would come running if I called.

That is what the Body of Christ is. It is people who are willing to put down what they are doing for the good of other people. It's hauling boxes of stuff from a house to a home. It's putting down differences for a common goal.

I realized how badly we all need community - and how glad I am for the one I have.
