What’s your past, big family or small?
If you like to rub shoulders with others, differences excite you. How many people can we stir into the mix? You, you, and YOU! Come on, we’re welcoming you inside!
The Kansas City Star reported a set of five foster children from 2 to 11 years who wanted adoption all together.
That’s a big ask. Five new children by one set of adoptive parents?
Yet the Star’s inbox blew up. With over four million views, they received thousands of responses from people interested in finding out more about adopting the youngsters.
Are we like that as Christians? When people need our help, visit our church, ask us for financial aid, do we “vet” them first, see if we have room, decide whether to recarpet the youth hall or help them pay their electric bill?
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 sets the standard for all Christians:
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Here’s what we need to pull from this passage. We are a team in Christ.
When there’s a cry for help, we step up. For you, or you, or all of you. If it’s in our power to provide the help others need, we shoulder the burden and get it done.
The Kansas City Star sent out a request for help and people responded.
The world is crying out for help. How can we not do the same?
“A threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Let’s link arms with our brothers and sisters in Christ and meet the needs around us.
