Messiness in the Community ~ Nicole McCumber

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching." ~Hebrews 10:24-25

In the early months of the pandemic, when everything seemed to be going wrong, community was vital to our family.The support we received was touching. Small gestures, such as flowers left on the porch from a neighbor, or groceries from a co-worker, were such blessings during dark times. Our faith was deepened by knowing that there were still good and kind people in the world, and that we would make it through and pay it forward when we were able. We are now able to help others in our community, and it has been wonderful to give back in small ways. Community is vital to life and we need to do all that we can to keep it strong.

Dear God, Help us to help others, as others have helped us. Help us to be a shining light to those that may need it. May we continue to push onward. In your name we pray. Amen.
