Community
Community is many things. Essentially it is a group coming or being together, as in a community of plants or a village of people. This ‘coming together’ is on my mind today for a variety of reasons. Saturday’s events included a “Nifty Fifty’ party for my middle daughter. It was held at our favorite Community Club in Forestville. I was, as always. impressed by the coming together in celebration.
My thoughts also extend themselves to the family of a dear friend whose little daughter is gravely ill. A community of family, friends, medical/hospital staff have come together to support each other and this precious little girl through this scary and uncertain passage.
I invite you to ponder on the examples of community in your own life and in the world around you. What does your community look like?
