COMMUNITY IS IT REAL
What if you had a chance to do something that would change the World forever? Think about that for a moment.
An old joke about beauty pageants is when contestants are asked a question about their goals the response is world peace.
What if you could bring that to reality?
That is not practical in the here & now universe but how about in your world. Your community is your world and a great place to start spreading love and understanding. Perfect peace can only be obtained through the one who defines love.
A person’s reach should exceed their grasp. That allows the opportunity to be stretched and growth will occur.
While you chew on that for awhile also consider this picture in your head. Freedom is a choir
Singing hallelujah in front of a stain glass window on Sunday morning (sounds like a song).
The point I am making is that you start with the here and now. Where you work, the neighborhood where you live, the church you attend and events you participate in. You bloom where you are planted.
Principles utilized to help prevent poverty are the same when it comes to immigration. Teaching people how to be RICH with Christian principals provides them a foundation. But you can not come at them trying to fix them without first understanding where they are coming from. You need to know their history and that comes through relationships. Being open, vulnerable and sharing your inner being or beast. As I said before we are all unique but common ground can be found. Lording over someone is not the way to appreciate their struggles, strengths and friendship. Community is built on respect, integrity and having fun. Togetherness built on sharing the truth.
