THIS WEEK'S INSPIRATION
"A caring community is a powerful healing and growth agent. An African proverb says, 'It takes a whole village to raise a child.' Your struggles cannot be worked out in isolation. A group of caring people is needed to model and foster healthy relationships. Life's toughest struggles are eased in a caring community of loving people. While relationships admittedly cause us problems, they also bring us our greatest joy. Make an effort to involve yourself in a group of positive people. Join a club or attend a class in your church or neighborhood. A caring community will help you come to a place where you will recognize that other people may complicate your existence, but life without them is unbearably desolate.
