We Are Not Alone

Trouble is a part of life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough. ~ Dinah Shore

Just as gravity keeps us grounded and connected to the earth, our community keeps us bound to our sanity and commitments. The various communities available to us keep us in reality. A problem pondered in isolation seems immense; the same problem shared by those who truly understand is manageable. We need other people from the moment we are born. We need to be included, to feel we're a part of something larger than ourselves. Our spirits hunger for contact from others, and thirst for a relationship with God.

Our fellowship is there, a warm, friendly, and accepting family. God loves us. We are not alone, no matter where we travel, no matter how large our problems seem at the moment. Our joys are doubled and our sadness diminished through the sharing of our hearts.
