If you've been in the church for any length of time, you've probably heard the message that we weren't made to go through life alone. And my reading of Scripture makes it pretty clear that Christianity was meant to be lived in community.
But, this is so opposite to what we hear in society. We live in a world that tells us we should be able to do it all on our own. We're told that we should be able to get it done without someone else.
This means we have to be really intentional about staying connected to the people around us. It's not going to happen by accident.
But, how do we make this a priority when we all have such busy lives?
How do we manage the expectations & needs of each other while still honouring our capacities & family needs?
We have to start by having the conversation with each other. We have to be honest about our needs, desires, & capacities. The we can work out what it will look like to stay connected to each other well.
When we do this, it results in a good thing for everyone involved.
